Web developer by day, hobby game developer by night. 

I have been building a 2D game engine in Java for several years now and it finally has enough core feature to be able to make some little games. I am hoping to start working on more game projects to help identify features that are missing. If any of them are any good I may upload them here :)

The goal of my game engine project is a rather dumb one, "to use zero external libraries."  This does not count JUnit of course and I did allow myself to use a library for transpiling Java byte code to JavaScript (teavm). 

 This means I have had to manually implement things like

• JSON parsing (which has been moved to its own repo sola-json)
• An Entity Component System implementation (which has been moved to its own repo sola-ecs)
• An impulse based collision resolution physics implementation
• Various linear algebra and geometry math utilities
• A Software based renderer with the ability to use a platform specific one if desired 

Because of this restriction I have learned a lot about how games are made and have had a ton of fun in the process!
