A 3.x [Godot Engine](https://godotengine.org) fork where I hack and slash and cause mayhem and destruction to all things good and godot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Similar idea to godot 4.0, but taken in a completely different direction.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It contains all of my currently in use engine modules. See the [changelog](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for a more comprehensive list of changes.

## 2D and 3D cross-platform game engine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pandemonium Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface.
|
||
|
|
It provides a comprehensive set of [common tools](https://godotengine.org/features), so that users can focus on making games
|
||
|
|
without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported with one click to a
|
||
|
|
number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS,
|
||
|
|
Windows), mobile platforms (Android, iOS), as well as Web-based platforms
|
||
|
|
(HTML5) and [consoles](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/platform/consoles.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Free, open source and community-driven
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pandemonium is completely free and open source under the very permissive [MIT license](https://godotengine.org/license).
|
||
|
|
No strings attached, no royalties, nothing. The users' games are theirs, down
|
||
|
|
to the last line of engine code. Godot's development is fully independent and
|
||
|
|
community-driven, empowering users to help shape their engine to match their
|
||
|
|
expectations. It is supported by the [Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/)
|
||
|
|
not-for-profit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before being open sourced in [February 2014](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/0b806ee0fc9097fa7bda7ac0109191c9c5e0a1ac),
|
||
|
|
Godot had been developed by [Juan Linietsky](https://github.com/reduz) and
|
||
|
|
[Ariel Manzur](https://github.com/punto-) (both still maintaining the project) for several
|
||
|
|
years as an in-house engine, used to publish several work-for-hire titles.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Getting the engine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Binary downloads
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I don't have anything (like an official webpage) set up at the moment, but temporarily you can download binaries from the github actions tab [[here]](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine), or the releases tab [[here]](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine/releases).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Compiling from source
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compiling is exactly the same as for Godot, so [See the official Godot docs](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/development/compiling/)
|
||
|
|
for compilation instructions for every supported platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Documentation and demos
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of the documentation is available in this repo under the doc/engine folder. [[Here]](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_engine/tree/master/doc/engine).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also look at the official 3.x Godot documentation, it will work mostly (sometimes with trivial modifications). It is hosted on [ReadTheDocs](https://docs.godotengine.org), and is maintained by the Godot community in its own [GitHub repository](https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The class docs are accessible from the editor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also look at the official pandemonium demos in their own [GitHub repository](https://github.com/Relintai/pandemonium_demo_projects).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's also worth looking at official godot 3.x resources, like this [awesome Godot list](https://github.com/godotengine/awesome-godot), and there are also a number of other [godot learning resources](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/community/tutorials.html)
|
||
|
|
provided by the community, such as text and video tutorials, demos, etc.
