• Making Games in Go for Absolute Beginners

  I love Go, yet I've never thought of it as a language with usable game engines. I'm extremely happy to find I was very wrong about that!

  I'm woefully behind the curve on compiling to WASM, though, and I've yet to experiment much with tinygo so I have no idea how far I would get in creating a game people could enjoy in a browser without having to download a big bundle of assets. It's reassuring to see WASM mentioned explicitly as a compilation target [1] by Ebitengine though.

• Is there a love2d for c++?

  What about learning Go with Ebiten? Or Rust with Bevy?

• What would be the closest thing to Unity/Unreal C#/C++ for Go to create games/animations/visual work?

  Actually, there is a game engine in Go. Ebiten(gine) is actually really popular and has already been used for a few games in production

  I noticed a similar issue when I got my MBP with the framebuffer not matching the window size and this has to do with the DPI settings. This GitHub link helped me understand the issue better and I hope it can be of assistance to you https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/pull/1811

• crten - a small tool to view your pixel art with a CRT screen effect

  This program also demonstrates how great Ebitengine is and how you can port GLSL shaders to it almost 1 to 1.

  Hey guys, first post here. I'm working on a roguelike written in Go using ebitengine. It's very early on, I don't wanna show too much in its current state, and of course everything is currently in flux, but I've made some progress and a few decisions.
