AmidosEngine is a FlashPunk inspired game engine base on Starling. It was created as a set of helping classes designed for fast development of games, something FlashPunk user are used to. The engine has a growing list of features, including world/entity structure, display classes as Spritemap, Tilemap, TileImage and Background, and sound classes, e.g Sfx.

It also has data and UI classes, e.g. ButtonEntity, as well as a 2D box collision system. It’s also possible to use cameras, but only move-based ones, no rotation or zooming. Finally it has a set of I/O events as multitouch and keyboard.

Sample

public class Main extends Sprite 
{
	public static const FRAMERATE:int = 30;
	public static const GAME_SCALE:Number = 2;
	private var mStarling:Starling;
	private var currentLoadingScreen:Bitmap;
	
	public function Main():void  {
		// entry point
		AE.Initialize();
		
		Starling.multitouchEnabled = true;
		Starling.handleLostContext = true;
		
		mStarling = new Starling(Game, stage, new Rectangle(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight));
		mStarling.addEventListener(starling.events.Event.ROOT_CREATED, gameStarted);
		mStarling.start();
	}
	
	private function gameStarted(e:starling.events.Event):void {
		mStarling.removeEventListener(starling.events.Event.ROOT_CREATED, gameStarted);

		AE.game.background.color = 0xFFCCCCCC;
		
		AE.assetManager.enqueue(EmbeddedGraphics);
		AE.assetManager.enqueue(EmbeddedSounds);
		AE.assetManager.enqueue(EmbeddedData);
		AE.assetManager.loadQueue(loadingFunction);
	}
	
	private function loadingFunction(ratio:Number):void {
		if (ratio == 1) {
			AE.game.ActiveWorld = new LoadingWorld(new DemoWorld() ,currentLoadingScreen);
		}
	}
}
