This is such a great little engine. It's like if you took a sticky note or scratchpad and turned it into something you could make a game with. No fluff; drop in and start making stuff.

Is this still being worked on? I would love to see some documentation or a tutorial with a sample project to get newbies started.

I think with a bit of community support and showcase projects to demonstrate Trash Engine's capabilities, this has the potential to be as impactful as things like Bitsy or Twine.

I love that this engine exists and I'd love to see a community grow around it.

Thank you so much! I have not been working on trash engine at all for a few months I think, and little in 2023. Mostly because other things were going on in my life.
I'm picking it back up now, though, both because I'm making a game it it myself, and people have shown some interest recently! :)

That's great to hear! Thank you! Any chance you're willing to share what you're planning for the engine?

Sure!

First: a bugfix update, focusing on the most pressing stuff like the save data problems

Then: improvements to the room and script editor + better documentation

Also (relevant for the game that I'm making): Better text rendering support, probably as an html overlay over the canvas or a text box next to it.

I also want to make some public facing project documentation, like a Trello board / google spreadsheet / roadmap / github wiki / github issue tracker. (Not all of these, but at least something for tracking bugs and something for upcoming features)
