gameloop: Simple Game Loop in Golang

This is a very, very basic game loop... nothing fancy about it.

This implementation is a bare bones variant inspired by kutase's excellent go-gameloop.

If you want to use a more advanced game loop, please consider using kutase's package :)

Example

package main

import (
	"github.com/Flokey82/gameloop"
	"log"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	gameloop.New(time.Second, func(delta float64) {
		log.Println("loop!")
	})
}
