Welcome!

Welcome to the RedEngine wiki! The engine isn't complete so neither is the wiki, currently the wiki is mainly for me, because I keep forgetting how to use my engine, and also serves as a reminder for all the issues and bugs of the engine which I need to iron out through its development before I make it publically downloadable.

Quickstart

As i said the engine isn't fully working and there's no official downloadable executable (yet). So to get started and actually use the engine, just follow the instructions below.

  1. Clone this repo (https://github.com/RedEgs/Cats-Citrus-Attack-TD.git)
  2. Navigate to this directory inside the cloned repo - ~/ApplicationEngine/redengine
  3. Make sure to pip install all the packages inside of requirements.txt (There may be some missing, if so slam it in the issues tracker if you can be bothered).
  4. Run the 'engine_main.py' file, using python 3.13 (recommended version), or anything higher than 3.8

If the engine runs without any errors, you're good to go and you can head to the tutorial/guide pages. If you get an error, head to the support section and if you're issue isn't there, add me on Discord and message me or file an issue here

How well does it work?

As I said, the engine is in really early development for production, but if you can withstand silly crashes, lots of relaunches and a fair amount of incompatibilities, the engine actually does what it's meant to do and pretty well. I still think that it might still just be faster for someone who is already used to using pygame, but the engine is still improving and there's lots of advantages (and disadvantages) to using it currently. On a scale of 1 - 10 of how well it works, I'd give it a 7/10.

Linux support?

I develop the engine on both my windows computer and Linux laptop, so i'm always improving the engine for both those systems, I've only had the opportunity (been bothered) to test it on Arch Linux and Windows, but for those systems the engine works as expected. Although there are still very minor incompatibilities with the Linux experience as opposed to the windows one, so I still recommend using the engine on a windows system rather than a Linux one if possible.
