toy is a thin and modular C++ game engine built on top of the 'two' library, aiming to provide the simplest technology stack for making 2D and 3D games directly in C++. It offers a programmable 3D renderer, entities, physics, navmesh navigation, procedural generation helpers, and zero-cost tools, editors, and scripting extensions.

Use cases

• build a 2d or 3d game in c++
• create a custom game engine from reusable building blocks
• prototype games with fast iteration cycles
• implement procedural generation in a game
• build games with complex custom ui and rendering schemes
• generate navmeshes and pathfinding for game ai
• compile a game to webassembly for the browser

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, hackable c++ game engine with a small codebase
• you need full control over shaders, materials, and render paths
• you are building games with atypical constraints like complex ui or procedural generation
• you want to assemble your own game technology from minimal reusable components

When to avoid

• you need a stable, production-ready engine with documentation and guaranteed stability
• you want a permissive license for commercial use without GPL obligations
• you prefer batteries-included engines like Unity, Unreal, or Godot
• you need long-term support or an active release cadence
