Pine Engine

The Pine Engine is a custom game engine written in C and OpenGL that powers Apptivus games. It is minimalist, data-oriented, and delivers outstanding performance on mobile gaming platforms such as the Steam Deck. It has everything needed to create modestly scoped single player games and no more.
