## What it is
AnKi is an open-source 3D game engine written in C++ that runs on Vulkan and D3D12 across Linux, Windows, and Android. It features a modern renderer with ray tracing, GPU-driven rendering, a render graph, physics, and Lua scripting.

## Use cases
- build a 3d game with vulkan
- learn modern gpu-driven rendering techniques
- experiment with ray tracing in a game engine
- cross-platform game engine for linux windows and android
- study render graph and gpu memory management implementations
- prototype games with lua scripting and physics

## When to choose
- you want a permissively licensed (BSD) C++ game engine with modern Vulkan/D3D12 rendering
- you want to study or extend a real-world renderer with ray tracing and render graphs
- you target Linux, Windows, or Android with minimal external dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready engine with large community support like Unreal or Godot
- you need a full editor and asset pipeline out of the box
- you need console, iOS, or macOS support

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: graphics, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: vulkan, d3d12, ray-tracing, rendering, lua-scripting, physics, sdl, game-development, linux, android
