Everything as code!
A code-first game engine built on OpenGL, empowering you to build everything from scratch with clean, simple code.
PRs and issues are welcome!
2026-09-04: This project has many shortcomings, and since it relies heavily on AI, it might feel a bit like "AI slop." Please don't criticize it for that, though. If you don't like this project, you can simply use a better engine, like Godot.

- PBR shader
- Event system

The same scene was used for both benchmarks.
Renderer optimization improved performance from 1 FPS to 30 FPS — approximately 30× faster.
Note: Version 0.1.6 also achieved approximately 30 FPS with VSync disabled, confirming that the performance improvement was not caused by VSync.
