Introduction

This is a tutorial on how to make a 2D breakout game in Lenga. We will go through the process of creating a simple breakout game, where the player controls a paddle to bounce a ball and break bricks.

Making a 2D breakout game in Lenga

In this tutorial series, we will build **Block Out**, a small 2D Breakout-style game in Lenga.

Release

Lenga Engine 0.4 — Animation Workflow and Inspector Improvements

Lenga Engine 0.4 is a workflow release. The focus here is not a brand-new rendering pipeline or a dramatic rewrite of the runtime. It is the day-to-day authoring experience: making animation setup less fragile, making inspector editing clearer, and cutting down the friction that slows teams down while building scenes.

Building the Component System: GameObjects, Components, and Behaviours

Lenga's component model is built around a simple idea: keep scene objects small, let focused components do one job well, and use PHP `Behaviour` scripts for gameplay glue. That is a much better fit for the kind of editor-driven workflow we want than a deep inheritance tree full of special-case object types.

Making a Platformer in Lenga: Part 1 — Movement and Jumping

In this tutorial, we'll build a simple platformer controller using the systems Lenga exposes cleanly: `Behaviour` scripting, `Input`, `Rigidbody2D`, and grounded checks. By the end, you'll have a character that moves left and right, jumps with a configurable impulse, and can be tuned directly from the Inspector.

Why PHP 8.5? A Deep Dive into Scripting Language Choice

Choosing a scripting language for a game engine is deeply personal, and we knew some people would raise eyebrows at our choice of PHP 8.5. Here's why it's the right call for Lenga.

3D Foundation in Lenga

Lenga opens 3D projects, renders scenes with mesh and model components, and gives you a dedicated 3D scene view in the editor. That foundation ties together project structure, camera flow, scene serialization, and authoring workflow inside the same engine model.
