yFight

yFight is a software project that aims to provide a lightweight and customizable fighting game engine. The primary goal of yFight is to offer a flexible framework for developers to create their own 2D fighting games without the complexity of building everything from scratch. It is designed to be accessible to both experienced game developers and those new to the genre.

The engine typically includes core fighting game mechanics such as character movement, attack systems, hit detection, and basic animation handling. Developers can often extend these core features to implement unique gameplay elements, special moves, and character-specific abilities. yFight is usually open-source, allowing users to view, modify, and contribute to the codebase. This open nature fosters community development and allows for a wide range of potential game styles and features to be integrated.

While yFight provides a foundation, the final look and feel of a game built with it depend heavily on the individual developer's art assets, sound design, and additional programming. It is intended as a tool to accelerate the development process for creating 2D fighting games, offering a set of pre-built components to streamline common tasks within the genre. The project emphasizes modularity, enabling developers to swap out or enhance specific parts of the engine to suit their project's needs.
