#excaliburjs — Public Fediverse posts

Hey! I've been creating a #game #engine #framework in #vala

Its ECS based, and its called Veggies (eat your veggies!). 🥦

My reasoning for this framework is to have a game framework alternative to #csharp. I'm not liking the encroachment #microsoft has over #gamedev and #indiedev

The video is the well known bunny mark demo. Renders up to 16000 bunnies before being under 30 fps. Still needs a lot of optimization.

I'm taking ideas from frameworks like #pygame, #pine, #FNA and #excaliburjs

So, what's next?

1. First, try to implement at least the snake demo.

2. Second, try to find more samples for more APIs and try t make them work.

3. Add docs, even simple ones with just links to the main SDL3 docs.

4. Port the rest of the SDL3 libs into vapis. I think SDL_Image and SDL_mixer are ABI stable so I could do that.

5. My secret plan with all fo this is to actually implement some frameworks, like #excaliburjs and especially #FNA into vala.

Let's hope I can achieve all of this!
