ggez
A lightweight cross-platform Rust game framework for creating 2D and 3D games with minimal friction.
What is ggez?
ggez is a Rust library designed to make game development straightforward and accessible. It provides a portable foundation for building 2D and 3D games, offering essential features like drawing, sound, and event handling without unnecessary complexity. The framework is inspired by the LÖVE game framework but extends it with 3D capabilities and Rust-specific optimizations.
Rust developers looking to create 2D or 3D games with a lightweight, cross-platform framework that minimizes friction. It's ideal for those who want a batteries-included base without being locked into specific higher-level systems like physics engines or ECS.
Developers choose ggez for its balance of simplicity and flexibility, offering a Rustified version of the LÖVE API with added 3D support and modern graphics via wgpu. It provides core game development tools while allowing easy integration of external libraries for advanced needs.
