What is Ebitengine?

Dead Simple

In Ebitengine, everything is an image: the screen, data from an image file, and even offscreen items are all represented as image objects. Most rendering operations consist of drawing one image on top of another.

Multiplatform

Ebitengine games work on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD), web browsers (through WebAssembly), and even on mobile (Android and iOS)! Plus, Ebitengine is implemented in pure Go on Windows, so Windows developers do not need to install a C compiler. Nintendo Switch™ is also supported!

High Performance

While Ebitengine's drawing API is very simple, Ebitengine games run very fast with GPU power. Multiple images are integrated into a texture atlas internally, and drawing operations are automatically performed in batch when possible.

Production-Ready

Production Ready

Ebitengine has been used to develop production-level games. One such example is Bear's Restaurant, a mobile application that has been downloaded over 1,500,000 times. See the showcase page for more production games made with Ebitengine. For information on other commercial games by Ebitengine, please visit the showcase page.
