  1. Double-click main.py.
  2. In the menu, click the Settings button to configure resolution and other options.

System Requirements

Minimum:

  • OS: Windows 10 / Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+)
  • Python: 3.8+
  • CPU: Dual-core 2.0 GHz
  • RAM: 80 MB (game usage only)
  • GPU: Integrated graphics with OpenGL 3.3 support
  • Storage: 20 MB free space
  • Dependencies:
    pygame, PyOpenGL, numpy, ***shortuuid***, psutil

NOTE: You might think shortuuid is only needed when there is multiplayer, but since we gradually removed it step by step, it is still necessary to prevent corruption.


Technical Overview

MiniPyEngine uses modern OpenGL with custom GLSL shaders for advanced graphics, going beyond the fixed-function pipeline.
Shaders are compiled at runtime from the shaders/ directory.

To create your own game:

  • Modify Player.py
  • Add .obj, .mtl, and texture files
  • Register your objects in the objects/ folder
  • You can create your own map by editing the level1.py file.

NOTE: For a super silly map filled with boxes, replace the level1 file in the maps folder with the original level1

The sound system contains only sample sounds!


Console Commands

  • Type 'god' to enable God Mode (health set to 9999).
  • Type 'noclip' to pass through walls.
  • Type 'nocrouch' to disable/enable crouching.
  • Type 'nojump' to disable/enable jumping.
  • Type 'exit' to close the console.

ProTip: If you go into the config file and write console("*consolecommand*") there, consolecommand will be executed.
