Coffee is an opinionated 2D game engine for Rust focused on simplicity, explicitness, and type-safety. It provides a hardware-accelerated 2D graphics API, built-in GUI, loading screens, a debug view, and multiplatform backends via OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, and D3D11/12.

Use cases

  • build a 2D game in Rust
  • make a 2D game with a simple Rust game engine
  • create a cross-platform 2D game with hardware-accelerated graphics
  • add a responsive GUI to a Rust game
  • render batched sprites and meshes in Rust
  • prototype a small 2D game with deterministic fixed timestep

When to choose

  • You want a simple, explicit, type-safe 2D engine in Rust
  • You need built-in GUI, loading screens, and a debug performance view
  • You want multiplatform graphics backends (OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, D3D11/12)
  • You value deterministic fixed timestep and batched draws

When to avoid

  • You need a mature, feature-complete engine - Coffee is in a very early stage with many basic features missing
  • You need 3D rendering
  • You need long-term stability - the master branch can contain breaking changes and releases are infrequent
  • You need a large community and ecosystem
