This repository consists of an archive for video games developed using the CX programming as well as libraries and other development resources.
CX is a general purpose, interpreted and compiled programming language, with a very strict type system and a syntax similar to Golang's. CX provides a new programming paradigm based on the concept of affordances, where the user can ask the programming language at runtime what can be done with a CX object (functions, expressions, packages, etc.), and interactively or automatically choose one of the affordances to be applied.
You can find more info on:
- The github page on CX - https://github.com/SkycoinProject/cx
- The official website of Skycoin - https://www.skycoin.com/

Instructions on how to run the games as well as documentation can be found in the respective folder, have fun!
Note: If you developed a game based on CX and want to have it added to this repo please open a PR.
A list of all libraries useful for CX game development will be catalogued and added to this section in the future.
| Name | Description | Status | Author |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graphical3d | A library to render 3D objects. | Finished | galah4d |
| UTest | An unit testing framework for CX. | Development | galah4d |
We are an open source project and everyone is welcome to contribute by creating games, documentation, testing, etc. If you are interested in doing so please read the following article) regarding collaboration via git, particularly the "Pull-Request Workflow for Code Contribution" section.
Video game submissions should be contained within a directory according the following structure:https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout.
-
assets- We should store the resources that we're going to need for the video games in here, such as texture files. -
cmd- Source code that will produce the executables or serve as the program's entry point (e.g., themain.cxfile). Files in here should call libraries from theinternalandpkgdirectories. -
docs- If we ever need to document a library that we developed for a game, it'll go here. -
examples- Sometimes we might need to test some features in isolation, and we should write some examples to provide better documentation. -
internal- Any code that isn't general purpose should go here. For example, structures that represent Tetris pieces, and functions that rotate these pieces. -
pkg- Any code that could be imported by other video games goes here. For example, a physics engine, an entity-component system, etc.
Detailed structural guidelines can be found here as well as in this article.
