A new release of ncJump has been published today by Antonio “Fahien” Caggiano.
ncJump is a platform game that uses Box2D for the physics, ImGui for the editor and of course the nCine. It has been developed as an nCine reference version of the CS50’s lecture 4.
On Fahien’s GitHub you can find the ncJump, ncJump-data and ncJump-artifacts repositories.
You can read progress update articles and interact with the author on both GitHub Discussions and Itch.io.
As with other nCine projects, there is an Emscripten version that you can try online on Fahien’s site.

All nCine projects are now continuously integrated using GitHub Actions workflows. The old Azure Pipelines setup has been decommissioned and it will not be used anymore.
With this migration, the C.I. is now more integrated with the code as everything is accessible from GitHub. For example, have a look at the nCine actions page showing the building workflows. You will also notice the new CodeQL workflow and status badges in the README.md file.
There is also another news related to building the source code: the develop branch does not exist anymore. It is a transition from the Git Flow model ... Read More →

After quite some time I'm now nearly done with the introduction of custom memory allocators support.
It required a big overhaul of my custom containers as well, as they didn't clearly separate the allocation phase from object construction.
Now that most of the work is done I can celebrate with a short video that explains the four types of memory allocators supported by the nCine: Linear, Stack, Pool and FreeList.

Yesterday I published SpookyGhost, a tool that lets you animate multiple sprites in a procedural way.
It is based on the nCine, meaning it is coded in C++, it uses ImGui, and it would potentially run on all the engine supported platforms: Linux, Windows, macOS, Android and Emscripten.
At the moment you can download a demo for Windows and macOS.
It has no limitations, you can find it on Itch.io.
Some of the tool features are:
