## What it is
Engo is an open-source 2D game engine written in Go that follows the Entity Component System (ECS) paradigm. It compiles for desktop platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows), mobile (Android, iOS), and the web via WebAssembly.

## Use cases
- build a 2d game in go
- create cross-platform games with golang
- ecs-based game engine for go
- make a game that runs on desktop and mobile
- build browser games with webassembly in go
- learn game development with entity component system

## When to choose
- you want to write 2D games in Go
- you prefer an ECS architecture
- you need one codebase targeting desktop, mobile, and web

## When to avoid
- you need a mature engine with a large asset ecosystem like Unity or Godot
- you are building 3D games
- you need extensive built-in editor tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, animation
- domain: cross-platform
- platform: windows, wasm, go
- tags: 2d, entity-component-system, ecs, opengl, gamedev, game-development, linux, macos, android, ios
