## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Solarus is a free and open-source 2D game engine and toolchain for making Lua-scripted action-RPG games, distributed to package-manager users primarily through the `solarus-run` command-line runner and companion graphical tools.

### Projektgeschichte

The official project describes Solarus as a C++ engine designed with 16-bit classic action-RPGs in mind and able to run games scripted in Lua. Its current GitLab project describes the wider distribution as a 2D game engine with a game editor and game launcher.

Solarus moved through a long 1.x release series before the 2.x line. The official changelog records Solarus 1.6.5 in 2021 and Solarus 2.0.0 on April 1, 2025, with the 2.0 release adding multiplayer-oriented engine changes such as multiple maps, cameras, heroes, and game controllers.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Solarus has remained a niche but recognizable open-source game-engine package: the supplied package-manager facts list it in Homebrew, Nix, and openSUSE/zypper, while the official site publishes games, downloads, documentation, and release news.

For package users, Solarus is most often interesting as a runtime for packaged quests and as a reproducible engine dependency for game projects that script gameplay in Lua.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The repository identifies `solarus-run` as the CLI used to play Solarus games, alongside the Solarus Launcher for playing and Solarus Editor for creating games. Documentation and tutorials live on the official Solarus docs site.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Solarus matters to package maintainers because it sits at the intersection of game engines, Lua scripting, SDL-style native dependencies, desktop launchers, and content runtimes. It is the sort of package where ABI compatibility, asset paths, and platform support can matter as much as the executable itself.

### Zeitleiste

- 2015: Solarus 1.4.5 appears in the official GitLab tag history.
- 2018: Solarus 1.6.0 appears in the official GitLab tag history.
- 2021: Solarus 1.6.5 is recorded in the official changelog.
- 2025: Solarus 2.0.0 is released with multiplayer-oriented engine changes.
- 2026: Solarus 2.0.4 is listed by the official site as the stable version.

### Related projects

- Solarus Launcher and Solarus Editor are companion applications named in the official repository README. Solarus games, or quests, are the content packages run by the engine.
