Coffee

Integration status Documentation Crates.io License Gitter chat

An opinionated 2D game engine for Rust focused on simplicity, explicitness, and type-safety.

Coffee is in a very early stage of development. Many basic features are still missing, some dependencies are experimental, and there are probably many bugs. Feel free to contribute!

Features

And more! Check out the examples to see them in action.

Usage

Add coffee as a dependency in your Cargo.toml and enable a graphics backend feature (opengl, vulkan, metal, dx11, or dx12):

coffee = { version = "0.4", features = ["opengl"] }

Rust is quite slow in debug mode. If you experience performance issues when drawing hundreds of sprites, enable compiler optimizations in your Cargo.toml. I recommend level 2 optimizations in order to stay closer to --release performance:

[profile.dev]
opt-level = 2

Coffee moves fast and the master branch can contain breaking changes! If you want to learn about a specific release, check out the release list.

Overview

Here is a minimal example that will open a window:

use coffee::graphics::{Color, Frame, Window, WindowSettings};
use coffee::load::Task;
use coffee::{Game, Result, Timer};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    MyGame::run(WindowSettings {
        title: String::from("A caffeinated game"),
        size: (1280, 1024),
        resizable: true,
        fullscreen: false,
        maximized: false,
    })
}

struct MyGame {
    // Your game state and assets go here...
}

impl Game for MyGame {
    type Input = (); // No input data
    type LoadingScreen = (); // No loading screen

    fn load(_window: &Window) -> Task<MyGame> {
        // Load your game assets here. Check out the `load` module!
        Task::succeed(|| MyGame { /* ... */ })
    }

    fn draw(&mut self, frame: &mut Frame, _timer: &Timer) {
        // Clear the current frame
        frame.clear(Color::BLACK);

        // Draw your game here. Check out the `graphics` module!
    }
}

Contributing / Feedback

I am quite new to Rust, systems programming, and computer graphics. I am learning along the way as I build the engine for a game I am currently developing. I am always glad to to learn from anyone.

If you want to contribute, you are more than welcome to be a part of the project! Check out the current issues if you want to find something to work on. Try to share you thoughts first! Feel free to open a new issue if you want to discuss new ideas.

Any kind of feedback is welcome! You can open an issue or, if you want to talk, you can find me (and a bunch of awesome folks) over the #games-and-graphics channel in the Rust Community Discord. I go by @lone_scientist there.
