gfxlib-rs

GFX-Lib is a lightweight library designed to simplify the creation of 2D and 3D games using OpenGL. Unlike a full-fledged game engine, GFX-Lib focuses on providing a set of functions and modules that allow developers to easily create graphics applications or games while still maintaining the freedom to implement their own abstractions. This makes GFX-Lib an ideal foundation for building custom game engines. It is comparable to other frameworks like Raylib, MonoGame, or LibGDX.

Features

GFX-Lib offers the following modules:

• Graphics: Functions for rendering 2D graphics, including textures, shapes, and shader management.
• Math: Mathematical utilities for vectors and matrices, facilitating transformations and calculations for graphics and physics.
• Core: Basic utilities for creating windows, handling user input (keyboard, mouse), and managing events.
• Shader: A collection of predefined shaders and the ability to create custom shaders.
• Physics: Not implemented yet.
• Audio: Not implemented yet.

Note: 3D rendering is currently under development and will be available in future versions.
