## :video_game: Main Features

* Basic Game Infrastructure (GameLoop, Configuration, Resource Management, Logging, ...)
* 2D Render Engine (GUI Components, Spritesheet Animations, Ambient Lighting, Particle System, ...)
* 2D Sound Engine (support for .wav, .mp3 and .ogg)
* 2D Physics Engine
* Support for Tile Maps in .tmx format (e.g. made with [Tiled Editor](http://www.mapeditor.org/))
* Player Input via Gamepad/Keyboard/Mouse
* Entity Framework

## :gear: Installation

LITIENGINE requires Java 25 or later; Java 22, 23, and 24 are no longer supported. Applications that enable gamepad support should be launched with
`--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED` to grant Input4j access to the Foreign Function & Memory API. Java 25 allows unauthorized native access with a
warning by default, but `--illegal-native-access=deny` and future Java releases reject it.

### :elephant: Gradle
The LITIENGINE Java library is hosted on the [Maven Central Repository](https://search.maven.org/artifact/de.gurkenlabs/litiengine), i.e. fetching it with Gradle is as simple as configuring your source repository and defining the dependency as shown below.
#### Groovy syntax:
```groovy
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'de.gurkenlabs:litiengine:0.8.0'
}
```

#### Kotlin Syntax:
```kotlin
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  implementation("de.gurkenlabs:litiengine:0.8.0")
}
```
