Minimal 2D library for games? I'm struggling a bit to settle on one to learn.

• egui

  203 19,719 9.8 Rust

  egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native

egui: this is technically a GUI framework, but it supports arbitrary rendering through a simple api, and you can also access the underlying graphics APIs if you want to. The eframe crate makes it easy to make an egui window.

• notan

  Cross-platform multimedia layer

I highly recommend notan https://github.com/Nazariglez/notan

• winit

  Window handling library in pure Rust

  

I'm using winit and softbuffer for my CurrentProject™.

• softbuffer

  Softbuffer integrates with the raw-window-handle crate to allow writing to a window in a cross-platform way while using the very high quality dedicated window management libraries that are available in the Rust ecosystem.

• bracket-lib

  27 1,449 0.0 Rust

  The Roguelike Toolkit (RLTK), implemented for Rust.

  

Maybe bracket-lib from the amethyst authors? I‘m currently working through that book and find the library quite intuitive and simple to use. It started out as a toolkit for rouge-like games but has been getting more general. On that note, I recommend the hands-on-rust book which teaches rust concepts while building games with bracket-lib. As you have read the book, I‘m sure you would get through the first chapters quickly.
