PixelBlitz Engine

PixelBlitz Engine is a game framework for Actionscript3 created by Norm Soule and Richard Davey. It provides quick and easy access to game-related features such as sprite handling, pixel blitting, collision detection, bitmap fonts, game related math, keyboard and mouse handling, parallax scrolling, filter effects and more.

Although still embryonic it is in development, with many future enhancements coming including: Tile Map support, Physics, new effects, sound manager, and whatever else we can think of to make game creation easier and quicker!

The latest version can always be found in our Subversion repository:

svn checkout http://pixelblitz.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pixelblitz-read-only

The Google Code project is here: http://pixelblitz.googlecode.com but please download it from svn, not the zip file as that is horrendously out of date.

    Without documentation, not even tutorials or a proper feature list, I don’t think figuring out how PixelBlitz works and its features from source code would be a good use of my time.

    [...] One more bit of news before I go, @photonstorm said that he would be releasing a new game tomorrow! :D How awesome is that, so keep a watch on him and the website for more updates :) If you are into making games in flash, he has a nice Open Source game framework out there you might want to take a look at too.

    Sadly I do not use SVN (I think it’s a real nightmare, as soon as one user makes the smallest mistake, your whole project is corrupted and unusable).
    Can I download the engine without SVN?

    who the hell told you that making the smallest mistake will corrupt your whole project?
    we are using svn for 4 years now, keeping all projects in one single repository (revision 22000 or so) and we NEVER corrupted any project. even our designers commit changes to the repos, and even they didn’t manage to make it unusable.

    if you mess it up the worst case may be that your working copy is corrupted. but then you just need check out the project again.

    SVN is a programmers dream when working on a project with multiple people working on the same files. Tortoisesvn is what we use at work and I wouldn’t ever go back to the old rar methods.
