Tilengine-Beef

Tilengine-Beef is a work in progress Beef wrapper library for Tilengine 2.8.0 2D graphics engine. It seems to be up and working for the most part, but there are bugs and not everything is working exactly as it should such as a few things like calling null to some functions. Below I have listed the things I can’t figure out how to get working right, so if anyone could take a look and help me out that would be much appreciated.

TODO:

• Make sure Callbacks in src\Tilengine.bf (Line 27-31) are done/working correctly.
• Figure out why I can’t pass null to certain functions as I should be able to in C. For example if I try to set a Layer using TLN.SetLayer(0, null, foreground) I get an error saying “unable to implicitly cast ‘null’ to ‘TLN.Types.Tileset’”
• Rewrite examples to Beef

Quick Start (using Beef IDE)

1. Download Tilengine-beef and copy it here: C:\Program Files\BeefLang\BeefLibs
2. Right-click on your workspace and select Add from Installed and choose Tilengine
3. Make Tilengine as a dependency of your project
4. Write some code

Example Code

using Tilengine;
using TLN.Types;
using TLN.Enums;
using TLN.Data;
using System;
namespace TilengineTest
{
    public static class Program : TLN
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            Tilemap foreground;
            Tileset tileset;
            int frame = 0;
            Init(400,240,1,0,20);
            SetLoadPath("assets/sonic");
            foreground = LoadTilemap("Sonic_md_fg1.tmx", null);
            tileset = LoadTileset("Sonic_md_fg1.tsx");
            SetLayer(0, tileset, foreground);
            CreateWindow(null, 0);
            SetWindowTitle("Tilengine-Beef");
            while (ProcessWindow())
            {
                DrawFrame (frame);
                frame += 1;
            }
            Deinit();
        }
    }
}
