Lite-C is a programming language for multimedia applications and computer games, with a syntax similar to the C programming language. Its main difference to C is the native implementation of computer game related objects like sounds, images, movies, GUI elements, 2D and 3D models, collision detection and rigid body physics. Lite-C executables are compiled instead of interpreted. Lite-C runs on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP or Vista operating systems.
For being easily accessible to non-programmers, the lite-C package contains a simple 24-lesson workshop that especially deals with the game and multimedia related objects of the language.
Lite-C supports the Windows API and the Component Object Model (COM); therefore OpenGL and DirectX programs can directly be written in lite-C. It has integrated the free A7 rendering engine.
Example
The following lite-C program opens a 3D window and displays a spinning sphere
void main(){ level_load(""); // open an empty level ENTITY* sphere = ent_create("sphere.mdl",vector(0,0,0),NULL); // create sphere model at position (0,0,0) while(1) { sphere->pan += 1; // rotate the sphere with 1 degree per frame wait(1); // wait one frame
Features
Lite-C has the following differences to standard C:
* Native multitasking support * On the fly compiling * Supports external classes (OpenGL, DirectX, Windows API) * Implementation of the A7 rendering engine * Function set for display/manipulation of 3D models * Function set for rigid body physics * Function set for vector and matrix functions * Function set for GUI objects * Function set for playing sound and movie files * Native support of DirectX 9 functions * Small footprint - ca. 15 MB with compiler, IDE, debugger
