Tetra
Tetra is a simple 2D game framework written in Rust. It uses SDL2 for event handling and OpenGL 3.2+ for rendering.
Note that Tetra is still extremely early in development! It may/will have bugs and missing features. That said, you're welcome to give it a go and let me know what you think :)
Features
- XNA/MonoGame-inspired API
- Efficient 2D rendering, with draw call batching by default
- Simple input handling
- Animations/spritesheets
- TTF font rendering
- Multiple screen scaling algorithms, including pixel-perfect variants (for those chunky retro pixels)
- Deterministic game loop, à la Fix Your Timestep
Installation
To add Tetra to your project, add the following line to your Cargo.toml
file:
tetra = "0.2"
Tetra currently requires Rust 1.31 or higher.
You will also need to install the SDL2 native libraries - full details are provided in the documentation.
Examples
To get a simple window displayed on screen, the following code can be used:
use ;
use ;
;
You can see this example in action by running cargo run --example hello_world
.
The full list of examples is available here.
Support/Feedback
As mentioned above, Tetra is fairly early in development, so there's likely to be bugs/flaky docs/general weirdness. Please feel free to open an issue/PR if you find something, or leave a question in the Gitter chat.
