YARGE

Yet Another Rust Game Engine

Started as an experimental private repo to start learning Rust and OpenGL and it's still that for now. It does seem to be growing and I would eventually like to make a game with it. It's probably wiser to use something like Unreal Engine, but I want to go as low level as I can and understand how all these things work and what it takes before diving deeper into using other games engines (although I have done some basic experimenting with several engines).

Features

Currently

• create Textures Images/Sprites, Triangle, Rectangles
  • Position, Scale, Flip, Color
• Basic Delta Timer
• Basic Orthographic Camera for 2D
  • Supports basic panning (no zooming)
• Basic Sprite animations through Texture atlas/sprite sheets
• Basic Tilemap support loading from json
• Batch Rendering multiple sprites with one draw call (or currently one per about 1000 sprites) on anything that implements Renderable2D trait
• FrameBuffer for off screen rendering and full screen post-processing effects (currently implemented as RenderTarget in batch renderer)
• Load fonts and render text through rusttype with gpu cache

Examples

This repo will provide some examples that you can run showing off different features. These live in the examples folder and can be run with cargo using the cargo run --example <name of example(folder)>. Currently, there is only the one example that does all the features. cargo run --example kitchen-sink

• kitchen-sink: everything everywhere example
• text: Just text dynamically created by user typing
• basic-ui: Basic UI style layout

All discussions, advice, ideas, etc welcome!
