Latest Update

Project has been updated to use XNA Game Studio 2.0.

Project Description
XNA based C# 2.5d engine designed to make sprites happy.

HappySprite is planned to be a comprehensive game engine that provides a framework to create real-time multi-player 2.5d games. The design goals are to provide a set of components that follow a separation of concerns to allow for maximum flexibility. The framework is targeted towards experienced developers.

The HappySprite library sits on top of the XNA framework and provides the following functionality:

Client side functionality:

• True 3D Rendering
  • 2D Quads (i.e. Sprites)
  • Scrolling and animated quads (planned)
  • 3D meshes (planned)
• 3D Scene graph
  • Orthro and Perspective cameras
  • Nested nodes
  • Culling (planned)
• Input management
• Audio management

Server side functionality:

• 2D discrete collision detection (OBB, Circle, convex polygon, capsule, half-plane)
  • Broadphase (simple, quad-tree)
  • Narrowphase
• 2D Dynamics (physics)
  • Rigid body
  • Collision response

Multi-player (planned):

• Synchronization between client and server
• UDP-based networking

The library is currently in beta and a first official beta release is planned soon. The source code is available as well.
