vange-rs VS piet

This is a new rendering method I was working on in Rusty Vangers. It's based on using a hierarchical voxel grid (mipmapped 3D texture) as an acceleration structure for ray tracing. Allows viewing the level from any perspective, and is faster than the "painter" method.

You don't need to depend on Angle in the build system, or link to it statically. For the purposes of your program it's just a GL driver. You'd just take libEGL.dll and a few dependencies from somewhere and place it in your folder with the executable. You can either copy it from Chrome or Firefox distribution, or as an artifact from https://github.com/DileSoft/gfbuild-angle, which my friend has set up for http://vange.rs/ builds on older Windows.

I couldn't find any mention of it in the official documentation or online, and I looked in some repositories online until I saw something suspicious here where there is a comment mentioning an include.

This is a port of vange-rs on "wasm32-unknown-emscripten" target via wgpu's GLES3 backend. Done by @caiiiycuk (thank you!), and also described in https://habr.com/en/post/594611/ (in Russian language).

P.S. I'm fully using WGSL in vange-rs and baryon

You can even check https://github.com/linebender/piet and https://github.com/RazrFalcon/tiny-skia. They are pure rust libraries. Skia as a whole is a big binary to add.

First, at the deepest level, we are moving away from Piet, which is a cross-platform 2D graphics abstraction. Under the hood it uses whatever the standard OS API is. Instead we will be using Vello which we have been building as a research project for years already. It is starting to near its v0.1, which is very exciting. Fundamentally it is a novel GPU accelerated 2D rendering engine with a strong focus on performance. It is not ready for benchmarks yet, but we're confident it will deliver. If you're curious, you can check out the Vello roadmap for 2023.

you can use piet, although that is more of an abstraction over existing, platform-dependent libraries. So not really pure rust, but definitely cross-platform.

Piet is the backend for the Druid UI framework. It is indeed cross-platform. The SVG backend looks like it would work without an OS, but I'm not sure the value of a GUI toolkit without an OS anyway :)

Piet can render text. You can use Piet_common with the BitMapTarget to generate images Here is an example.

Piet (https://github.com/linebender/piet) should work.

So the 3 I'm looking at right now are 1. druid 1. piet 1. bevy

It relies on piet 2D graphic library; on Linux that means GTK/Cairo 2D primitives
