Qilin - Tiny 2D Game Engine

Qilin - 'Unicorn' of the ancient chinese Mythology

What is this?

Qilin is a super lightweight 2D Game Engine made with Rust.\ The focus of this Project is to develop a Game Engine to make 2D Games fast, performant and without a bunch of bytes.

Features & Future Improvements

See FEATURES.md...

Goals

• Fun: Qilin is not a serious engine, but rather a fun Project to make fun Games with fun.
• Compile Times: Developing Games in Rust can be very slow, due to compile times. Qilin tries to fix this by reducing features & dependencies.
• Performance: While having great compile times, Qilin still tries to use the features of Rust to optimize performance and memory usage.
• Modular: Qilin is tiny by default. You can however add more features and add additions to your game-flow.
• Lightweight: Qilin is designed to make games with, however if you like to you can build your own engine on top.

Cargo Features

• default: Doesn't contain any other features, so you can 100% customize qilin.
• minifb: Exports internal minifb crate.
• image: Exports module to convert Images from the image crate to Qilin Images.
