My game library: Nexa
I am currently creating a simple game library for the Julia programing language. It is called Nexa and at the moment I have simple key presses, image loading, and a simple game loop. It is not much right now but I only started working on it 2 days ago.
My goal:
My goal for this project is to make a simple library to make game easily in Julia. Something like raylib, its not too bloated but still very easy to use.
Why am I making this?
Well one the julia game dev ecosystem is super scarce and there are only a couple libraries that are actually good.
GameZero:
It’s simple but you can only use one file and doesn’t really seem to be good for large scale projects.
JulGame:
Its pretty good so far. The main thing that loses me is the fact that it has a required editor. I am not a big fan of that because I want something more like a “game framework” instead of a “game engine” meaning I don’t really want an editor like unity or something.
Bplus:
It is really well made but it is very low level and I want something that’s easier for someone to get into.
If you want to check out the github it is right here. GitHub - SabeDoesThings/Nexa.jl: A simple upcoming game library for the Julia programing language
I will be posting updates on the Julia discord server in the game-development channel.
Hopefully I’ll see you there
