[19 Sep 2025] Live - Special Edition - Making a local multiplayer game with orx in 1h

This session was about making a small asteroids-like game, targeting the Web/HTML5 platform, while leveraging orx’s data-driven features.

Some of the game features that were implemented during the session:

[29 May 2025] Orx - Portable Game Engine version 1.16 has been released.

The Orx community is pleased to announce the 1.16 release.
There are quite a few changes in this release.
Here are some highlights:

HTML5/Web is now a supported platform!
TrueType/OpenType fonts are now supported at runtime
SDF fonts are now supported, either generated offline with orxFontGen, or at runtime
Init can now update in-place existing projects: extensions can now be freely added/removed/updated on existing projects
Plugins are now handled as resources (and can thus be hot loaded/swapped, bundled, etc.)
Scroll has been rewritten: all redundant features were removed and new features, such as per-ScrollObject inputs, were added
Extending a config property with += now works through section inheritance
Added support for QOA (audio) and PNM, GIF & PSD (bitmap) formats

This session was about how to update an existing (old) project, the new HTML5/Web platform and some advanced concepts:
