An engine and associated methods are disclosed. An engine in accordance with the present invention comprises a housing defining a cavity and a slidable member disposed in the cavity. The slidable member is preferably configured to form one or more combustion chambers, and the slidable member adapted to slide back and fourth relative to the housing in a cycle. One or more intake ports are provided for selectively providing fuel to the one or more combustion chambers during selected timed during the cycle. One or more exhaust ports are provided for selectively venting exhaust from the one or more combustion chambers during selected times during the cycle. The intake and exhaust ports are preferably disposed so that intake and exhaust flows are in the same direction (e.g. uniflow).
