egor

A dead simple cross-platform 2D graphics engine

Screenshot

Why Egor?

Egor is dead simple, lightweight and cross-platform. The same code runs on desktop, web (WASM) and mobile with minimal boilerplate. It's built from small, composable crates on top of modern graphics and windowing abstractions

Egor gives you the essentials for 2D apps and games:

Efficient 2D rendering (shapes, textures, text)
Keyboard & mouse input
Camera & world-space transforms
Interactive UIs with optional egui integration
Optional hot-reload during development

Platform Support

Target	Backend(s)	Status
Windows	DX12, Vulkan, OpenGL	✅ Stable
MacOS	Metal, Vulkan (MoltenVK)	✅ Stable
Linux	Vulkan, OpenGL	✅ Stable
Web (WASM)	WebGPU, WebGL2	✅ Working
Android	Vulkan, OpenGL	✅ Working

Getting Started

Add egor to your project:

cargo add egor

Example:

let mut position = Vec2::ZERO;

App::new()
    .title("Egor Stateful Rectangle")
    .run(move |FrameContext { gfx, input, timer, .. } | {
        let dx = input.key_held(KeyCode::ArrowRight) as i8
            - input.key_held(KeyCode::ArrowLeft) as i8;
        let dy =
            input.key_held(KeyCode::ArrowDown) as i8 - input.key_held(KeyCode::ArrowUp) as i8;

        position += vec2(dx as f32, dy as f32) * 100.0 * timer.delta;

        gfx.rect().at(position).color(Color::RED);
    })

For full documentation see the official docs

Running a Native Build

Simply run cargo:

cargo run

Running a WASM Build

Setup

Create an index.html next to your Cargo.toml:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />
    <link data-trunk rel="rust" />
    <style>
      body {
        margin: 0;
      }
      canvas {
        display: block;
        width: 100vw;
        height: 100vh;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
</html>

Run trunk (defer to Trunk docs for setup):

trunk serve

Running an Android Build

Setup

Make sure your crate is a library:

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib", "rlib"]

Have a lib.rs with your egor::main function:

egor::main!(main);
pub fn main() {
    App::new().run(...)
}

The egor::main!(main) macro defines the required android_main() entry point on Android and forwards execution to your main() function. On other platforms it expands to nothing (see the secs_particles demo for reference)

Add an Android build target (if needed):

rustup target add aarch64-linux-android

Egor defers Android toolchain setup and build workflow to xbuild. See the xbuild - getting started for SDK/NDK and device setup

Build with xbuild

x build

Try Out Subsecond Hot-reloading

Compile with the hot_reload feature enabled. Hot reload will automatically wrap AppHandler::update when the feature is active

Run dioxus-cli (defer to Dioxus CLI docs for setup):

dx serve --hot-patch

[!NOTE] Subsecond hot-reloading is experimental; native is working

Performance

To stress test egor, we made ferrismark, a bunnymark like demo capable of rendering hundreds of thousands of Ferris crabs at stable FPS on modest hardware

Demos

To try ferrismark or see more of egor in action, check out demos/

Run any demo with (see --help usage) xtask:

cargo xtask run <demo>
