Feedback Project My 3ds game engine

Adamoumou · Apr 4, 2024

Hey everyone,

I've been working on developing a game engine for the Nintendo 3DS, and I'm excited to share my progress with the forum! I want it's in a very very early stage and barely working so if I can have help it would be nice.

Key Features:

Scene based game engine
Based on C3D
Support for 2D graphics
Easy-to-use API for game development
Debugging made easier with a SDCARD logger and realtime viewer

How You Can Help:

Test out the engine and provide feedback on your experience.
Report any bugs or issues you encounter during testing.
Suggest improvements or additional features you'd like to see implemented.

How to Get Involved:If you're interested in checking out the engine and providing feedback, you can find the source code on GitHub. Feel free to clone the repository, experiment with the engine, and submit your feedback either as GitHub issues or by reaching out to me directly.

Thank you!

PS: Sorry for my english I am a 15yo french guy so it's a little bit complicated for me hehe

Edit: I forgot the github url sorry "/ADAMOUMOU/CitroFlex" I am a new user so I can't post link

append the github url before "/ADAMOUMOU/CitroFlex"

the program gives plenty of warnings when compiling. the home menu button isn't respected.
i've been rebooting every time because the start button doesn't exit the program.
in the default main.cpp, in the line 'logger.log("[red]This is red !");' , the txt output is '[red'
i'm assuming the logger is misinterpreting the ]
i'm not a great programmer, and i couldn't figure out how to make objects properly, so documentation
would help.
overall seems pretty useful as drawing to screen in general can be difficult.
also i'm not sure if path can be specified, but i was expecting the logs to be in the same folder as the 3dsx, but instead they were sent to the root, though that isn't really much of a issue.

Hello,
First I really appreciate your answer!
Yes there is a lot of warning at compilation, it’s in majority some variables that are declared but not used but I will try to fix that.
For the start button, I forgot to implement it because I tested my engine on Citra and for now I recommand to do the same for security reason but I will add this functionnality.
I will try to see that, did you used the python viewer in tools folder (you will need citra)?
I am working on a doxygen documentation, if you want to help, you can by commenting functions and classes the ‘doxygen way’ (Jetbrains can help to comment).
Yes the goal of this engine was because of the drawing and the debugging was hard when making homebrews.
No I didn’t made a functionnality to choose output directory I will try to fix that today.
Don’t hesitate to make a pull request in github if you want to get involved.
Have a nice day!

if you are refering to the logger.log("[red]This is red !"); , i meant in output .txt on the sd card for that line outputs [red
when it's should output [red]This is red ! (compiled 3dsx on n3dsxl)
i don't understand the use of the python viewer.

is the python viewer an ide that hooks onto citra to debug. it also isn't working properly for me right now

The python viewer is a realtime viewer for the logger, it supports Richtext (it's the reason why ther is [red] before the text) and for the textual module, you can do pip install textual or python -m pip install textual if not done yet (do not forget to change the path in the script by changing the constant FILEPATH and the '\' in the pathfile become '\\' as you can see in dbg_view.py.

i'll use an emulator instead so outputs can be read in real time.
