DRY Engine is a personal learning project focused on building a 2D game engine in C from the ground up.
The primary goal of this project is to deepen my understanding of systems programming, game engine architecture, graphics, networking, and software design by implementing the engine myself.
- Build a 2D game engine entirely in C.
- Implement built-in networking support as a core engine feature.
- Learn through hands-on development rather than relying on existing engine frameworks.
This project is a learning exercise. All code is written manually without the use of agentic coding assistants or LLM-generated source code. Documentation and reference material may be consulted, but the implementation is intentionally developed by hand to maximize learning and understanding
- Solid Arrow → Ownership / Contains
- Dashed Arrow → Dependency / Uses
Contains foundational engine systems:
- Time
- Transform
- Color
- Input (planned)
Contains rendering and engine-facing systems:
- Renderer
- Texture
Provides mathematical primitives used throughout the engine:
- Vec2
- Vec4
