BoxEngine is a simple game engine for building 2D games in .NET.

Features

  • Easy to use
  • High performance
  • Cross-platform
  • Does not require an editor to create entities
  • And much more...

Getting Started

  1. Install the package:

    dotnet add package BoxEngine

  2. Usage example:

    using Box;

[STAThread]
static void StartGame()
{
    using var game = new Engine(new EngineSettings
    {
        Window = new Vect2(1920, 1080),
        Viewport = new(320, 180),
        Screens = [new BootScreen()],
        UseTextureHalfOffset = true,
        DebugDraw = false,
    });

    game.Start();
}

StartGame();

- This release introduces a flexible and efficient A* pathfinding engine designed for weighted edge graphs. Ideal
for grid, tile-based, or custom spatial maps.

- Features included in this release:
--- Modular graph system with support for custom positions via Vect2
--- Weighted edge connections with optional one-way or bidirectional links
--- Multiple heuristic types: Euclidean, Manhattan, Diagonal
--- Runtime toggling of node and edge activity using SetNodeActive and SetEdgeEnabled
--- Object pooling for internal path, visited, and came-from structures to reduce memory pressure
--- Heuristic result caching for faster repeated path calls
--- Dynamic cost modifier function for custom terrain or condition-aware pathfinding
--- Supports full path reconstruction via PathResult struct (includes path and total cost)
--- Simple wrappers for ID-only and position-based path results (ShortestPath and ShortestPathAsPositions)
--- Optimized for large tilemaps, sparse graphs, or dynamic environments
--- This system is cleanly separated into core components: Vertex, Edge, HeuristicType, PathResult, and AStar, allowing
for easy extension and testing.
