Native Linux Games

game engines are (usually) a GUI that sits on top of a framework to make games. usual functionality for them includes a model for class relationship, game-specific type classes, a shader renderer and helper, and a few other api’s

Hi @Steve_Worcester ,
Thanks you for filling us in on how games are built.
It is a specialised area and the jargon tends to obscure it.
It sounds like there is a focus on object oriented techniques.
The other message I get is that an engine is a lot more than a compiler and a few libraries… there is a large amount of support software involved
And thanks @Akatama for inviting our guest.

Regards
Neville

i am unaware of any reverse engineered compiler, i just wanted to cover my bases <3

OOP is decently common in the game world

For obvious reasons why it’s not widely known, many Adult (+18 ) games actually have Linux builds. You may find plenty of them on Itchio.

• Paradise Lust 1
• Drain Mansion
• Another Chance

So many games made with Ren’py have these Windows/Linux combo builds. Meaning that those combo builds are 2 in 1.
