Good friendly development community ready to help each other with tips and advice for setting up and best practices.

Written in C with high emphasis on memory and CPU efficiency.

Powerful config system that makes orx data-driven and provides an easy to use load/save system.

Automatic hot-loading of resources upon modification on disk, shortens drastically iteration times.

Includes a chaining graph & custom animation events for synchronization.

Camera/viewport scheme allowing multiple views displayed with camera translation, zoom and rotation.

Supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS and Android.

Orx is a Data Driven engine that greatly reduces required code. You can configure object definitions, bodies, cameras, sound, animation, event tracks, etc.

GLSL code can be added straight into data configuration files and can be applied to any texture: background or objects whivh allows for some amazing effects. All GLSL versions are supported, again by providing the shader language version in your configuration file.
Parameters are supported and values over time for shader animation.

Fragment (pixel) shader support, render to texture, MRT, easy composition and custom rendering support.

Clock system that provides time consistency and allows time stretching + high precision timers

Integrated runtime profiler (with graphical display) to easily spot which parts of your game need to be optimized.

Color and translation FX are simple to configure and apply to objects.

Uses the zlib license. Lets you use Orx for free for any kind of projects, even for commercial ones.

Rated the fastest engine in the OpenFL’s BunnyMark since October 2015.

All input devices are fully supported: Joysticks, Mouse, Gamepad, Keyboard and Touchscreen. Multiple physical devices and be mapped the same binding.

Supports .bmp, .png, .jpg, .tga and .dds

Samples for sound effects, or streams for music. All sounds can be groups via audio buses just like in a typical DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
All sounds can be spatial relative to the camera.
