Features

• 2D Game Frameworks - Provides a comprehensive Rust framework for building two-dimensional games with hardware-accelerated graphics and game loops.
• 2D Graphics Frameworks - Ships a hardware-accelerated rendering engine specifically for drawing 2D sprites, shapes, and text using shader programs.
• Asset and Resource Management Systems - Implements a resource management system using a filesystem abstraction to load assets from directories or archives.
• Asset Loading - Provides a unified filesystem abstraction to load and instantiate game assets from physical directories or compressed archives.
• Asset Management - Implements a system for loading and organizing game resources such as audio files and image assets.
• Game Loops - Manages the primary execution cycle for processing user input, updating state, and rendering frames.
• Cross-Platform Engines - Enables game development across multiple operating systems using a unified hardware interface and filesystem abstraction.
• Game Loop Managers - Coordinates the repetitive cycle of processing input, updating game state, and rendering frames to the screen.
• 2D and 3D Graphics Rendering - Implements a hardware-accelerated rendering system for drawing 2D shapes, text, and sprites.
• Hardware-Accelerated Rendering - Offloads the composition of visual layers and geometry to the GPU for high-performance rendering.
• Real-Time Graphics Rendering - Provides hardware-accelerated rendering of sprites and shapes using custom shaders for fluid real-time visuals.
• Hardware Abstraction Layers - Implements a unified hardware abstraction layer for keyboard, mouse, sound, graphics, and system timers across platforms.
• Hardware Abstraction Layers - Provides a consistent architectural API to access hardware resources across different operating systems.
• Virtual File Systems - Provides a filesystem abstraction to map physical directories or archives to a logical path system for assets.
• Delta-Time Integrations - Implements a system to calculate the elapsed time between frames to ensure consistent movement and physics.
• Trait-Based - Defines a trait-based interface for the game loop to execute update and draw logic every frame.
• User Input Processing - Provides a callback system for capturing and interpreting keyboard and mouse events to drive game logic.
• Audio Playback - Ships a system to load and playback sound effects and music from common audio file formats.
• Draw Call Batching - Optimizes performance by grouping multiple sprite draw calls into a single GPU operation via instance arrays.
• Text Rendering - Provides a system for drawing labels and dialogue using TrueType fonts for clear on-screen text.
• Shader Uniform Management - Provides a system to pass constant or dynamic data structures to GPU shader programs for visual effects.
• Screen Space Coordinate Mappings - Provides a way to translate virtual game coordinates to physical screen pixels for consistent rendering across resolutions.
• Engine Timing Metrics - Provides utilities to measure frames per second and manage time intervals for consistent application performance.
• Frame Timing Trackers - Includes utilities to calculate the time elapsed between frames to ensure consistent movement and physics.
• DPI Scaling - Adjusts interface dimensions and window sizes to maintain visual consistency on high-density displays.
