Architecture Overview
ClickEngine is built around several key components:
Core Library: The ClickEngine core library provides essential tools to implement the IDE and manage ClickEngine games.
GDJS (Game Engine): The game engine, written in TypeScript, uses PixiJS for rendering and powers all ClickEngine games.
ClickEngine.js Bindings: These bindings integrate Core, GDJS, and Extensions into JavaScript, utilizing WebAssembly for efficient performance.
newIDE (Game Editor): The game editor, built with React, Electron, and PixiJS, provides a robust environment for game development.
Extensions: A collection of extensions that add objects, behaviors, events, and new features to the game engine, enhancing its capabilities.
Fraxtal Blockchain Integration
Fraxtal is a modular rollup blockchain (L2) known for its "fractal scaling" roadmap. It is an EVM equivalent rollup utilizing the OP stack, offering fast, secure, and cost-effective deployment of applications. Fraxtal features include:
Modular Rollup: Multiple components and middleware for other chains and networks to use and connect to.
Blockspace Incentives: Flox incentives that reward users and developers for interacting with smart contracts on the network.
Frax Ether (frxETH): The native gas token issued by Frax Finance, ensuring economical transactions on the platform.
ClickEngine's integration with Fraxtal allows for seamless handling of game-related transactions, from creating and managing NFT assets to purchasing games from the ClickEngine store.
Vision for the Future
As we continue to develop ClickEngine, our vision is to expand its capabilities and make game development even more accessible. We plan to introduce more extensions, enhance our integration with the Fraxtal ecosystem, and build a thriving community of game developers.
Our mission is to lower the barriers to entry in game development, enabling creators from all backgrounds to bring their ideas to life and monetize their creations effectively. Join us on this journey to revolutionize game development with ClickEngine!
