Qilin - Tiny 2D Game Engine

Qilin - 'Unicorn' of the ancient chinese Mythology

What is this?

Qilin is a super lightweight 2D Game Engine made with Rust.
The focus of this Project is to develop a Game Engine to make 2D Games fast, performant and without a bunch of bytes.

Goals

• Fun: Qilin is not a serious engine, but rather a fun Project to make fun Games with fun.
• Compile Times: Developing Games in Rust can be very slow, due to compile times. Qilin tries to fix this by reducing features & dependencies.
• Performance: While having great compile times, Qilin still tries to use the features of Rust to optimize performance and memory usage.
• Modular: Qilin is tiny by default. You can however add more features and additions to your game-flow.
• Lightweight: Qilin is tiny and inspired by MonoGame, so you can build your own engine on top, if you want.

Cargo Features

• text: Contain the text module.
• audio: Contains the audio module.
• minifb: Exports internal minifb crate.
• image: Exports module to convert Images from the image crate to Qilin Images.
• store: Adds the PlayerPrefs struct to store game data.
• serde: Adds serde support for common types. Also enables the serde feature for the mint crate.
