Mango is a cross-platform, data-driven game engine written in Go. The engine is built with simplicity and usability in mind. As a result, Mango offers both an immediate mode rendering system as well as a retained mode rendering system. This allows developers build simple games faster while also providing the ability switch between render systems as a project grows more complex.
Warning: Mango is in extremely early stages. I would advise against using it to build a game but if you want to see how this might work, the Immediate Mode system is pretty usable. See examples.
These are Mango's mean features so far:
- Immediate Mode Render System
- Primitives: Quad, Circle, Sprite, Line, etc
- Batched Renderers: Quad, Pixel
- Bitmap Font Rendering
- Entity Component System (in progress)
- UV Spritemap System
- Input
- Debug Tools
- In-Game Logging System

Coming soon...
Using Mango's immediate mode rendering system is extremely easy and requires minimal work:
import "github.com/micahke/mango"
func main() {
// Initialize the engine and specify immediate mode rendering
mango.Init(core.RENDER_MODE_IM)
// Create a new window with vsync enabled
mango.CreateWindow(800, 600, "TITLE", true)
mango.IM.ConnectScene(&Game{})
mango.Start()
}Immediate mode scenes only need to implement 3 simple methods for this to work:
type Game struct {}
func (game *Game) Init() {}
func (game *Game) Update() {}
func (game *Game) Draw() {
mango.IM.DrawRect(0, 0, 100, 100)
}If you are looking to contribute to the project, start here. Simply clone the repo and run:
git clone https://github.com/micahke/mango.git
cd mangoWarning: Mango relies on GLFW and OpenGL to handle window creation and graphics. Please make sure these libraries are installed on your machine.
