A port of the open-source rewrite Cave Story game engine for various platforms. Original author is Caitlin "rogueeve" Shaw, https://nxengine.sourceforge.io/

NXEngine

NXEngine is open-source rewrite engine of the Cave Story game. Author - Caitlin (rogueeve) Shaw.

This repository contains source code of my NXEngine fork for various weak devices. I have added some engine improvements:

  1. Sound through SDL_mixer.
  2. Support for widescreen displays (480x272).
  3. Ports to various platforms.
  4. Russification.

Download

You can download ready-to-run packages with NXEngine and Cave Story here:

  • On the page of EXL's Developer Blog.
  • On the page of Cave Story Tribute Fan Site.
  • On the page of GitHub Releases.

Russian and English versions of this game are available.

Build instructions

Building requires some SDL libraries: SDL-1.2, SDL_ttf-2.0, SDL_mixer-1.2 (optional). Please install developer versions of these libraries before building the project. You can open "nx.pro" project file in the Qt Creator IDE for easy code navigation.

Platform defines:

Define Description
-D_480X272 Use widescreen 480x272 resolution.
-D_320X240 Use normal 320x240 resolution.
-D_DINGUX Dingux platform and keyboard layout (Ritmix RZX-50, Dingoo A320, Dingoo A380, etc).
-D_MOTOMAGX MotoMAGX platform and keyboard layout (Motorola ZN5, Z6, E8, EM30, VE66, etc).
-D_MOTOEZX MotoEZX platform and keyboard layout (Motorola E2, E6, A1200, A1600).
-D_SDL_MIXER Don't use realtime music generation, *.xm tracks and sounds will be played via SDL_mixer.
-D_DEBUG Enable detailed debug output to the console.
-D_L10N_CP1251 Enable Russian l10n (you need a *.ttf font and Russian version of data-files).
