For discussions not significant enough to be an Issue or PR, feel free to ping us in the #oak channel on the gophers slack.

Quick Start

This is an example of the most basic oak program:

package main

import (
    "github.com/oakmound/oak/v3"
    "github.com/oakmound/oak/v3/scene"
)

func main() {
    oak.AddScene("firstScene", scene.Scene{
        Start: func(*scene.Context) {
            // ... draw entities, bind callbacks ... 
        }, 
    })
    oak.Init("firstScene")
}

See below or the examples folder for longer demos, godoc for reference documentation, and the wiki for more guided tutorials and walkthroughs.

On Pure Go

Oak has recently brought in dependencies that include C code, but we still describe the engine as a Pure Go engine, which at face value seems contradictory. Oak's goal is that, by default, a user can pull down the engine and create a fully functional game or GUI application on a machine with no C compiler installed, so when we say Pure Go we mean that, by default, the library is configured so no C compilation is required, and that no major features are locked behind C compliation.

We anticipate in the immediate future needing to introduce alternate drivers that include C dependencies for performance improvements in some scenarios, and currently we have no OSX solution that lacks objective C code.

Overview

Package oak is a game engine. It provides scene control, control over windows and what is drawn to them, propagates regular events to evaluate game logic, and so on.

Example

Use oak to display a scene with a single movable character

AddScene("basicScene", scene.Scene{Start: func(*scene.Context) {
	char := entities.NewMoving(100, 100, 16, 32,
		render.NewColorBox(16, 32, color.RGBA{255, 0, 0, 255}),
		nil, 0, 0)
	render.Draw(char.R)
}})
Init("basicScene")

RemoveViewportBounds removes restrictions on the viewport's movement. It will not cause the viewport to update immediately.

func (*Window) ScreenShot

func (w *Window) ScreenShot() *image.RGBA
