Classes

Comprehensive documentation for all classes available in Kraken Engine. Each class page includes constructor signatures, methods, properties, and usage examples.

Animation & Visual Effects

• AnimationController - Manages and controls sprite animations with multiple animation sequences
• Effect - Base class for timeline effects (access via the fx submodule)
• Orchestrator - Timeline animator for Transform objects
• SheetStrip - Descriptor for one horizontal strip (row) in a sprite sheet

Audio

• Audio - A decoded audio object that supports multiple simultaneous playbacks
• Sample - A sound effect sample loaded entirely into memory
• Stream - A streaming audio resource intended for long music files

Graphics & Rendering

• Batcher - GPU draw batching helper for preallocating draw memory and improving throughput
• Camera - Represents a 2D camera used for rendering
• Color - Represents an RGBA color
• Font - A font typeface for rendering text
• Mask - A collision mask for pixel-perfect collision detection
• PixelArray - Represents a 2D pixel buffer for image manipulation and blitting operations
• Text - A text object for rendering text to the active renderer
• Texture - Represents a hardware-accelerated image that can be efficiently rendered
• Vertex - A vertex with position, color, and texture coordinates

Shapes

• Anchor - Anchor positions returning Vec2 values for alignment
• Capsule - A shape defined by a line segment and a radius
• Circle - Represents a circle shape with position and radius
• Line - A 2D line segment defined by two points: A and B
• Polygon - Represents a polygon shape defined by a sequence of points
• Rect - Represents a rectangle with position and size

Physics

• World - The main container for physics simulation
• Body - Base class for physics bodies
• RigidBody - A physics body influenced by forces and collisions
• StaticBody - A physics body that does not move but can be collided with
• CharacterBody - A specialized body for kinematic character movement
• CastHit - Result of a ray or shape cast in the physics world
• Collision - Information about a contact point between two bodies
• Joint - Base class for constraints between two bodies
• DistanceJoint - Maintains a fixed distance between two points on two bodies
• RevoluteJoint - Constrains two bodies to share a common point (a hinge)
• PrismaticJoint - Limits movement to a single axis
• WeldJoint - Locks two bodies together as if they were one
• WheelJoint - A joint for simulating vehicle wheels with suspension
• MotorJoint - Controls the relative motion between two bodies
• MouseJoint - Used to pull a body towards a target point (mouse cursor)
• FilterJoint - A joint used to filter collisions between two bodies

Shaders

• Sampler - Describes sampling parameters for reading textures in shaders
• Shader - Encapsulates a GPU shader and its associated render state

Tile Maps & Objects

Input

• InputAction - Represents a single input trigger such as a key, mouse button, or gamepad control

Math & Utilities

• PolarCoordinate - PolarCoordinate models a polar coordinate pair
• Timer - A timer for tracking countdown durations with pause/resume functionality
