• go-bgfx

  1 57 10.0 C

  bgfx for Go

I'm looking for something that's relatively low-level (not a game engine) but preferably abstracts some of the boilerplate away and is cross-platform. Something like go-bgfx would have been perfect for me, but it has been long abandoned. The only real remaining option appears to be the glfw-bindings go-gl/glfw. Otherwise, I could make use of cgo to wrap some c/c++ code myself. I'm somewhat hesitant to go with glfw, because openGL isn't supported on all platforms (but realistically, I'm not going to publish anything that needs to go on mobile), and doesn't support raytracing, which I eventually want to mess around with too.

• glfw

  3 1,505 6.7 C

  Go bindings for GLFW 3 (by go-gl)

• go-sdl2

  3 2,124 6.9 C

  SDL2 binding for Go

  

Fair enough! There are Go bindings for sdl here, and bindings for RayLib here. Beyond that, everything go game-related that I know of is a game engine.

• raylib-go

  Go bindings for raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.

• vulkan

  Vulkan API bindings for Go programming language (by vulkan-go)

  

You might want to try vulkan-go: https://github.com/vulkan-go/vulkan

• Vulkan

  70 9,710 9.3 GLSL

  Examples and demos for the new Vulkan API

Thanks. I'll have a look at it. I've heard that working with unabstracted vulkan is really hard though (>1000 lines of code to render a single triangle). That seems pretty daunting. I think I'll just try glfw and see where I get with that.

there's https://github.com/fogleman/fauxgl, it's pretty fast, although it hasn't been updated in two years or so.
