Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine

Flare (Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine) is a game engine built to handle a very specific kind of game: single-player 2D action RPGs. Flare is not a reimplementation of an existing game or engine. It is a tribute to and exploration of the action RPG genre. The usecase of this project is to build several real games and reuse code. The first game, in progress, is a fantasy dungeon crawl. Flare uses .ini-style config files for most of the game data to modify game contents. The game code is C++.
