Goals

• Have a bunch of boilerplate code covered so I don't have to write it every time I make a new game.
  • Accessibility features (remappable keys, colorblind tools, dyslexia font support, maybe some kind of text-to-speech support?)
  • Basic scripting/event system.
  • A variety of game objects with different movement types (platformer, top-down, etc.)
  • Basics physics handling stuff.
• Build tools to help me make games without relying on third party tools that may not meet all my needs...
  • Map editor.
