  • pixels

    A tiny hardware-accelerated pixel frame buffer. 🦀

  • If you like plotting all the pixels yourself you could look at https://github.com/parasyte/pixels

  • notan

    Cross-platform multimedia layer

  • I think that Notan could fit your requirements, although no audio support yet and it's a WIP library. So between notan and miniquad I'll advice to use miniquad right now if you want to have something working asap.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • snake_pixels

  • I was following the Bevy tutorial implementing Snake game, and then decided for comparison rewrite it in Pixels. It turned out a bit longer, but much easier to understand and modify.
