YUM

What is Yum?

YumEngine is a lightweight, cross-language runtime and engine that bridges C++ and C with Lua and Godot. Its goal is to provide an easy-to-integrate, extensible system for scripting, automation, and game development.

About YumEngine

YumEngine combines a C++ backend with a C-safe API, giving you both high performance and flexibility. It includes a custom Lua runtime called Yum.InternalLua, and a fully dynamic library interface.

• Dynamic Library (Yum): Provides core utilities accessible from C, C++, Lua, and C#.
• YumEngine: Complete engine with linked Yum library; includes API and internal classes.
• YumiEngine: Engine only, dependent on Yum library.
• Variant & Vector: Type-safe, C-compatible containers for data exchange between languages.
• Cross-Language Callbacks: Register functions from C#, Lua, or other languages.

Requirements

• C++20 compiler (or higher, e.g., g++-15 for macOS)
• C17 compatible compiler
• Optional: Lua interpreter to run scripts

Compiling YumEngine

Official builds are precompiled, so you usually don't need to compile anything manually. If you want custom builds:

lua build.lua build
  

Make sure to adjust compiler paths, flags, or studio name if needed.
