2. Done!

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/worona32b/Noel/main/setup.sh)"

}

Noel comes with several scripts that simplify working with the engine:

• setup.sh: Set up the project for Unix systems.
• setup.ps1: Set up the project for Windows systems.

Noel includes a simple yet powerful Entity-Component-System (ECS) for organizing and interacting with objects in your game.

Noel's API is designed with an understanding of beginners' needs. It is easy to understand and use for the development of 2D games.

Configuration for the game is executed through the config.lua file if it exists.

Here's a simple example using Noel to create a window and render a rectangle:

#include "noel.h"

int main() {
    Noel::initialize();

    Noel::drawCircle(0, 0, 30f, Noel::Color.Blue);

    Noel::terminate();
    return 0;
}

Noel is distributed under the MPL-2 license, allowing you to use and modify it for your own purposes.

Wishing you successful game development with Noel!
