The PGE Engine is part of the PGE project, and will allow users to play episodes and levels.
The engine is still very early in development, so not much information is available.
The current test application has the basic physics system and is able to read and play levels, and can display blocks, BGOs, and backgrounds, but without NPCs and effects. It is possible to use warps, but there is no visual entering/exiting effect. The player's character is represented by a blue rectangle. It is also possible to travel between levels by using level-to-level warps. There is also a work-in-progress message box system, which will be able to display special characters and different languages. Starts from 0.0.8-pre-alpha engine can render animation of playable characters and has partial implementation of sound and music system. Currently engine can play some sounds on world map and can play musics. On the level some sounds are plays but no music yet.
