## What it is
two is a C++ toolkit for rapidly prototyping live graphical applications and games, providing reflection, generic algorithms, an immediate-mode UI system, and a flexible mid-level graphics renderer. It favors small reusable libraries over monolithic engines and can also be used from higher-level language bindings.

## Use cases
- prototype a graphical c++ app quickly
- build a small game without a heavy engine
- create an immediate mode ui in c++
- render 3d scenes with meshes, lights and materials
- live-code and edit graphics examples in the browser
- build lightweight self-contained c++ libraries

## When to choose
- you want a lean, modular alternative to large game engines
- you need immediate-mode UI with auto-layout and widgets in C++
- you are prototyping graphical apps or games and want minimal boilerplate
- you want reflection and generic building blocks for C++ apps

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured production game engine with editor and asset pipeline
- you require a large ecosystem, extensive docs, or commercial support
- you are not comfortable working in C++ with a custom build system

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, graphics, game-engine, animation, state-management
- domain: graphics, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: cpp, cross-platform, wasm
- tags: immediate-mode-ui, reflection, live-coding, prototyping, renderer, lightweight, game-development, web-server
