Tetra is a simple 2D game framework written in Rust, using SDL for events and OpenGL 3.2+ for rendering. It offers an XNA/MonoGame-inspired API with batched 2D rendering, input handling, and a deterministic game loop.

Use cases

• build a 2D game in Rust
• make a simple 2D game with SDL and OpenGL
• XNA/MonoGame-style game framework for Rust
• render sprites with draw call batching
• handle keyboard, mouse, and gamepad input in a Rust game
• create a deterministic fixed-timestep game loop

When to choose

• you want a simple, lightweight 2D game framework in Rust
• you prefer an XNA/MonoGame-inspired API
• you need a deterministic game loop and built-in font rendering, cameras, and screen scaling

When to avoid

• you need a framework under active feature development - consider macroquad or ggez instead
• you need 3D rendering or a full game engine
• you require guaranteed bug fixes or new features, since the project is only passively maintained
