# WARNING
This branch is expected to work with Tilengine 2.9.1, change to Master if you want to use old Tilengine versions

You can compile Tilengine Library yourself or buy it here : https://megamarc.itch.io/tilengine

# Requirements
As OpenSource project, I recommend to use FPC but is fine Delphi Community (Free) to compile too. Delphi has sightly 
better perfomance in Windows but FreePascal is a real multiarch. Firemonkey is not supported yet... if you want Android definetly 
go to FPC.

# Installing
Setup will checkout dependancies and will try to build everything to work with native library.

## Windows
```
> setup.cmd
```

## Debian-based linux
```
> sudo ./setup
```

# Performance
Our wrapper is near or equal performance as plain C.

Warning!!! on latest versions of Raspbian (Stretch) don't use repo SDL2 lib perfomance is AWFUL. 
Compile it yourserlf, parameters : 
```
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=armv7l-raspberry-linux-gnueabihf --disable-pulseaudio --disable-esd --disable-video-mir --disable-video-wayland --disable-video-x11 --disable-video-opengl --disable-static
