The Steel Game Engine

Steel is an open source cross-platform Rust game engine with built-in editor.

Design Goals

Run Steel Editor

Environment Setup

  1. Install Visual Studio 2022 with "Desktop development with C++" in Windows, keep the default check.
  2. Install Rust, Git, Python, CMake and Ninja for shaderc-rs.
  3. Install VSCode with "C/C++" and "rust-analyzer" extensions.

The Steel Editor can be run by compiling the source code, or by running it directly using the compiled executable file. Currently, it is recommended to open the Steel source code in VSCode to run the Steel Editor, because it is convenient for debugging.

Run from Source

  1. Download the code of the Steel:
git clone https://github.com/SSSxCCC/steel
  1. Use VSCode to open the root directory "steel" and press F5 to compile and run in debug mode. Or you can run it using the command:
cargo run -p steel-editor -F desktop

Run from Executable

  1. Download "steel-editor.zip" from the Releases page and unzip it.
  2. Open Windows PowerShell and execute:
cd steel-editor
.\steel-editor.exe
