Headcannon Game Engine (formerly Engine02/E02) is a multiplatform 2D game development system.
Its editors and powerful script interface allow users to create the characters and environment that make up the game, while the program handles I/O, low-level player/object management, etc. Many 2D Genre are possible with this system, such as Platform, Adventure, SHMUP, Fighter, RPG, Paddleball/Pinball, and others.
The PSP build uses a 333MHz processor, with 24MB of RAM available for use by HCGE.
Installation
Create a new directory in ms0:/PSP/GAME/ and unrar the contents into the newly created folder.
To install a game, unrar their contents into the same folder in which you placed the eboot.pbp. Both the game folder and the contents of the gdf folder are required.
There are several example games and a template included:
- HCGE General Game Template - A basic general game template, contains only enough script and data to start up as a game and display something on-screen.
- Sonic Example Game - A well-featured fanmade Sonic the Hedgehog game containing a title screen, a character and level select menu, completable levels with items, enemies, and even bosses.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Project Mettrix - A work in progress HCGE game project. Sonic the Hedgehog example described above is based on scripts that were originally created for this game.
- Mega Man: Triple Threat - A fanmade Mega Man game created in the SNES Mega Man 7 style with new levels and Robot Masters.
