If you're a neophyte in the world of game developing and there's nobody there to show you how it's done step by step, then this is your lucky day my friend. Your very own game may just be within reach.

drcd has released a small 2D Engine that will allow you to easily draw pictures, move them, change their color, opacity and many other things. But of course, for you to be able to learn, drcd will not spoon feed you. He actually ran into some sort of trouble incorporating sound in the engine. As an up and coming developer, do not look at this as a problem, but more of a challenge. Just think about it, if you'll be able to come up with a solution to this problem, then you sure have the makings of being the next drcd.

He coded it using pspgl in C++. It was written for Windows, Linux, and OpenAL for sound (but because he didn't find a good enough library, no sound at the moment).

Included in the download, below this article, is a walk-through on how this engine works. Download it and get cracking on your game. You never know, we might even feature your creation here at QJ.

sweet

I used to make games on my Amiga 500 computer using the shoot em up construction kit. Now I can make them on PSP since I don't have to do complex coding. I'll definately give it a try if I can find time. With sound, this would be really badass. Hopefully there's a tutorial?
