## What it is
Macroquad is a simple, easy-to-use cross-platform game library for Rust, heavily inspired by raylib. It lets you write the same code for Windows, Linux, macOS, HTML5/WASM, Android, and iOS with minimal dependencies and fast builds.

## Use cases
- build a 2D game in Rust
- make a browser game with WebAssembly
- deploy a Rust game to Android with one command
- prototype game ideas quickly with minimal setup
- write cross-platform games without platform-specific code
- add simple immediate-mode UI to a Rust game

## When to choose
- you want a beginner-friendly Rust game library with a tiny dependency tree and fast builds
- you need one codebase targeting desktop, web, Android, and iOS
- you prefer a raylib-style simple immediate-mode API over heavyweight engines

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured editor, ECS, or asset pipeline like Unity, Godot, or Bevy
- you need advanced 3D rendering or AAA-grade graphics features
- you need a large ecosystem of plugins and community assets

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, ui-components, animation
- domain: graphics, cross-platform
- platform: rust, wasm, windows, cross-platform
- tags: 2d-rendering, immediate-mode-ui, raylib-inspired, single-command-deploy, html5-games, game-development, android, ios, linux, macos
