Core Services API

These are the shared services and helper types you will most often use around the engine.

Window and display

• Display
• WindowFlag
• CursorType

Start here if you want to manage the window, cursor, clipboard, fullscreen state, or monitor information.

Useful entry points:

• Display module reference
• create_window(width, height, title)
• set_window_title(title)
• toggle_fullscreen()
• set_mouse_cursor(cursor)
• get_monitor_size(monitor)
• get_time()

Timing

• Time
• Timers
• TimerHandle

Start here if you want stable frame timing, elapsed engine time, cooldowns, delayed callbacks, or repeating world-local timers.

Useful entry points:

• Time module reference
• Display.get_time()
• Time.delta_seconds
• Time.elapsed_seconds
• Timers.after(...)
• Timers.every(...)
• Timers.cooldown(...)
• Timers.cancel(handle)

Animation

• Animator
• Timeline

Start here if you want small scripted animations, waits, method interpolation, or callback sequences without building a separate animation system.

Useful entry points:

• Animator module reference
• Animator.create()
• Timeline.to(...)
• Timeline.method(...)
• Timeline.wait(...)
• Timeline.call(...)
• Timeline.start()
• Timeline.cancel()

Rendering

• Renderer2D
• Renderer3D
• Color
• Rect
• TextureFilter
• ArepyTexture
• ArepyFont
• ArepyModel
• ArepyMesh
• ArepyMaterial

Start here if you want to draw sprites, text, shapes, models, debug primitives, or use cameras.

Useful entry points:

• Renderer2D module reference
• Renderer3D module reference
• draw_texture(...)
• draw_text(...)
• draw_model(...)
• draw_cube(...)
• get_delta_time()

Renderer2D.get_delta_time() is still available, but Time.delta_seconds is now the preferred gameplay-facing timing source.

Input

• Input
• Key
• MouseButton
• GamepadButton
• GamepadAxis
• GamepadDeviceType

Start here if you want keyboard, mouse, gamepad, wheel, or typed text state.

Useful entry points:

• Input module reference
• is_key_pressed(key)
• is_key_down(key)
• get_available_gamepads()
• get_gamepad_device_type(gamepad_id=0)
• is_gamepad_button_down(button, gamepad_id=0)
• get_gamepad_axis_movement(axis, gamepad_id=0)
• is_gamepad_vibration_supported(gamepad_id=0)
• set_gamepad_vibration(left_motor, right_motor, duration_seconds, gamepad_id=0)
• is_mouse_button_pressed(button)
• get_mouse_position()
• get_char_pressed()

Audio

• AudioDevice
• ArepySound
• ArepyMusic

Start here if you want to play sound effects, stream music, or control volume and playback time.

Useful entry points:

• Audio module reference
• load_sound(path)
• play_sound(sound)
• load_music(path)
• play_music(music)
• seek_music_stream(music, position)

Assets

• AssetStore

Start here if you want a named store for textures, fonts, sounds, music, models, meshes, and materials.

Useful entry points:

• Asset store reference
• add_* and get_* methods on AssetStore

Events

• EventManager
• Event

Start here if you want loose communication between systems or gameplay modules.

Useful entry points:

• Event manager reference
• event subscribe / emit / process methods on EventManager

In the normal engine loop, queued events are processed during the update phase.

Where to keep reading

• The generated module reference shows every method, attribute, and nested module.
• The engine services guide explains what each service is for in plain language.
• Read Engine Services for examples of how these services are injected into systems.
