PlanetKit

Colorful blobs that might one day resemble planets.

Requires the latest stable version of Rust.

Goals

• Build an easily-hackable toolkit for building games based around voxel globes. The simple case should be simple, and the migration path to greater customisation should be smooth.

• Document everything. Both the API and implementation should aim to teach. I'm also blogging as I go.

• Be open and welcoming. If you have a question, a suggestion, an idea, or just want to say "hi", please feel free to open an issue.

Non-goals

• Build a game engine. I'm going to end up doing this accidentally. But my preference is to use existing libraries where they exist, and contribute to them where it makes sense.

• Expose a stable API. I do value stability, but PlanetKit is too young and exploratory to be thinking about that just yet. If you use it for something, I'll help you deal with breakage.

• Meet everyone's needs. I intend to focus on a very narrow set of game styles. But "narrow" is hard to define clearly. If you're not sure whether our visions are aligned, please open an issue!
