Why Egor?
Egor is dead simple, lightweight and cross-platform. The same code runs on native and web (WASM) with minimal boilerplate. It's is built from small, composable crates on top of modern graphics and windowing abstractions
Egor gives you the essentials for 2D apps and games:
- Efficient 2D rendering (shapes, textures, text)
- Keyboard & mouse input
- Camera & world-space transforms
- Interactive UIs with optional egui integration
- Optional hot-reload during development

Getting Started
Add egor to your project:
Example:
let mut position = ZERO;
new
.title
.run
To see more of egor in action, check out demos/
[!TIP] Running a demo for WASM? You’ll need to move index.html into a demo, or just use the included run.sh script (see usage). It simplifies running native, WASM & hot-reload builds
For full documentation see the official docs
Running a Native Build
Simply run cargo:
Running a WASM Build
Run trunk (defer to Trunk docs for setup):
Try Out Subsecond Hot-reloading
Compile with the hot_reload feature enabled. Hot reload will automatically wrap AppHandler::update when the feature is active
Run dioxus-cli (defer to Dioxus CLI docs for setup):
[!NOTE] Subsecond hot-reloading is experimental; native is working
