Macroquad
Macroquad is a Rust game engine and 2D graphics library designed for developing cross-platform games and graphical applications. It functions as a rendering engine that enables the deployment of a single codebase to desktop, mobile, and web targets.
The engine utilizes an immediate mode rendering model, which allows for the creation of user interfaces and game worlds that render in a single pass within the main application loop. This approach is paired with hardware-accelerated 2D rendering and automatic draw call batching to optimize the display of geometry across different hardware devices.
The framework provides a unified build pipeline to compile applications into native binaries or WebAssembly for web-based deployment. It includes a hardware abstraction layer to map generic input and graphics calls to platform-specific system APIs.
