Free Libre Action Roleplaying Engine is a simple game engine built to handle a very specific kind of game: single-player 2D action RPGs. Flare is not a reimplementation of an existing game or engine. It is a tribute to and exploration of the action RPG genre.
Rather than building a very abstract, robust game engine, the goal of this project is to build several real games and harvest an engine from the common, reusable code. The first game, in progress, is a fantasy dungeon crawl.
Flare uses simple file formats (INI style config files) for most of the game data, allowing anyone to easily modify game contents. Open formats are preferred (png, ogg). The game code is C++.

The engine is great, but the game should be called run like hell
I'm sure the engine will be used to make some great games.
The game that comes with FLARE should be retitled, here are my suggestions:
run like hell
run for your life
run or die a miserable death
stopping is not an option
This is pretty funny. I
This is pretty funny. I haven't heard this feedback before. What kind of character do you use that is often running?
You might like the new version anyway. With Caltrops and Bear Traps you won't have to run as much. Or use Stealth to skip past enemies.
Fly you fools!
This is my suggestion. I should try this game soon.

This game has potential. I've been playing it for a few hours and I'm impressed : ) Absolutely loved it!
I have a question though - I sucessfully installed and played the game through ubuntu software center but if I download the files and try to build this error occurs :
"-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!"
Can someone tell me why this happens? Thanks in advance.
