ggez

We have hosted the application ggez in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about ggez:

ggez is a Rust library to create a Good Game Easily. More specifically, ggez is a lightweight cross-platform game framework for making 2D games with minimum friction. It aims to implement an API based on (a Rustified version of) the LÖVE game framework. This means it contains basic and portable 2D drawing, sound, resource loading, and event handling, but finer details and performance characteristics may be different than LÖVE. ggez is not meant to be everything to everyone, but rather a good base upon which to build. Thus it takes a fairly batteries-included approach without needing a million additions and plugins for everything imaginable, but also does not dictate higher-level functionality such as physics engine or entity component system. Instead, the goal is to allow you to use whichever libraries you want to provide these functions or build your own libraries atop ggez.

Features:

• Filesystem abstraction that lets you load resources from folders or zip files
• Hardware-accelerated 2D rendering built on the wgpu graphics API
• Loading and playing .ogg, .wav and .flac files via the rodio crate
• TTF font rendering with glyph_brush
• Interface for handling keyboard and mouse events easily through callbacks
• Config file for defining engine and game settings

Programming Language: Rust.
