2D platformer engine original made ~10 years ago, in 2011, for a local game jam. It is based off of an idea I had for 5 or 10 years or more at the time, for which I have a lot of game design documents for. It predates all of the of the relatively modern 2D and 3D terrain games where you can influence its shape. But it does not predate the abundance of 1980's single-screen, or simple 1-way scrolling, games that implemented these same ideas that perhaps we simply forgot about for 3 decades. This has been a dream for me to create since I played the classics in the 1980's, and was amazed that not only could you create a world for a gamer to live in, but also interact and modify. Of course, I made my own games like this, but the real dream was something much more immersive, but still 2D, where you can get some magical things to happen and be visualized that even 3D mastery cannot achieve. But what you see here is just the basics of a weekend demo that I've cleaned up a bit.
