Nu Game Engine 
Live Nu Game Engine Support on Discord
So... just what is the Nu Game Engine?
"The Nu Game Engine is the world's first practical functional 2D and 3D cross-platform game engine. Built in F#, it offers an immediate-mode API based on ImGui called ImSim as well as a model-driven API called MMCC (Model-Message-Command-Content). Nu offers a path to a future where game developers are liberated from the snowballing complexity of overly-imperative game programming approaches. Nu's implementation has matured enough to prove both the efficacy and viability of declarative programming in games. Nu currently utilizes SDL2, OpenGL, Aether 2D Physics, and Jolt 3D Physics."
"...everything that I can think of that makes games programming so awful seems to have a solution in your engine!" - @Sigmoid
This repository hosts several projects, including -
- Breakout tutorial using the ImSim API, 'Breakout ImSim'.
- Breakout tutorial using the MMCC API, 'Breakout MMCC'.
- the 3D third-person game sample, 'Terra Firma'.
- the 2D puzzle game tutorial, 'Twenty 48'.
- the WIP prototype game sample for 'Project 5 (Tentative Title)' - Demo Here!
- the WIP prototype game sample for 'Project Race (Tentative Title)' - Demo Here!
- the commercial game demo for 'Omni Blade' - Full game available here!

Nu is available under a dual-licensing model.
The license under which this repository operates is the Nu Game Engine Noncommercial License, which allows you to make and distribute sofware with Nu Game Engine under the conditions that said software is distributed without charge and does not compete with Nu Game Engine itself. The license is found here.
To make and distribute commercial software with Nu Game Engine, we provide the Nu Game Engine Commercial License from [email protected]. By paying a fee of $99 USD, we allow the distribution of commercial software made with the Nu Game Engine for 1 year under the conditions that it does not compete with Nu Game Engine. By obtaining this license, we also grant 10 free hours of first-priority development support per licensing term within 12 business hours via discord or [email protected].
