Simple2D - Minimal Python 2D Engine and Editor

This workspace contains a minimal 2D game engine and a visual editor built with Python's Tkinter (no external libraries). It's intentionally small but structured so you can extend it.

Files

• main.py - entrypoint (launches editor)
• editor.py - Tkinter-based visual editor (place entities, edit properties, save/load, run)
• engine/core.py - Engine class that runs update/draw loop in a Tkinter window
• engine/entity.py - Entity container with components
• engine/components.py - Basic Transform, Sprite, Physics components
• scene.py - Scene management and serialization

How to run

Run the editor:

python main.py

Usage

• Add entities in the left panel. Select them to edit position, sprite and physics.
• Save scenes as JSON and re-open them later.
• Click "Run Scene" to open a separate window running the scene.

Notes and next steps

• This is a starting point. Suggested improvements:
  • Add image sprite support (PhotoImage)
  • Add more components and a behavior scripting system
  • Implement undo/redo and transform gizmos
  • Add collision callbacks and tilemap support
