# ChenEngine

A 2D game engine with C/C++ core and Python bindings.

## Features

- 2D rendering with support for materials and sprites
- Keyboard input callback system
- Sound system for loading and playing audio
- Python API for easy game development
- C/C++ core for performance

## Dependencies

- SDL2
- SDL2_mixer
- Python 3.6+
- CMake

## Installation

### 1. Install dependencies

```bash
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev python3-dev cmake
```

### 2. Compile the C/C++ core

```bash
cd chenengine/core
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
```

### 3. Install the Python package

```bash
cd ../../..
pip install -e .
```

## Usage

```python
from chenengine.python import ChenEngine, load_sound, play_sound, destroy_sound

# Initialize engine
engine = ChenEngine(800, 600, "Test Game")

# Load material
player_material = engine.load_material("assets/player.bmp")

# Load sound
jump_sound = load_sound("assets/jump.wav")

# Key callback function
def key_callback(key, state):
    if state == 1:  # Key pressed
        if key == 32:  # Space bar
            play_sound(jump_sound)

# Set key callback
engine.set_key_callback(key_callback)

# Update function
def update(engine):
    pass

# Render function
def render(engine):
    engine.render_sprite(player_material, 100, 100)

# Run engine
engine.run(update, render)

# Cleanup
destroy_sound(jump_sound)
```
