Hello folks! I'm Coderman64, and a few months ago I posted my first ground-up classic sonic engine, called the Motorbug Engine. (demo here). It's written with modern web technologies (I.E. HTML5, JS, and CSS), so it can be run inside the browser. This presents a few distinct advantages, like:
- Don't have to download shady fan games that might contain malware.
- Full compatibility with smartphones
- and more.
In addition, it is fully open-sourced on GitHub, so anyone can use it/tinker with it/make derivatives/whatever.
While I have gotten to a point where the engine is fairly workable, I still don't feel like it's at a point where I'd recommend others work on it. That's where this post comes in. If anyone has a working knowledge of HTML5 canvas and wants to help out, that would be great. No contribution is too small!
ALSO! If you are considering making a fangame, and don't mind using an experimental-ish engine to do it, please don't be afraid to contact me! If more people use it, we will start to discover more and more ways to make it better.
Thanks!
