Praxis Engine

Project goals

• Learn about Game Engine Foundations, 3D space, and systems programming using Rust.
• Create a game engine using idiomatic Rust practices.
• Build a practical engine capable of supporting game development within a 1-2 year timeframe.
• Eventually support complex game worlds and interactions.

Project rules

• Use free/open, battle-proven libraries (crates) only.
• Avoid proprietary or costly tools.
• Prioritize simplicity and clarity in design.
• Focus on pragmatic solutions and iterative feature development.
• Minimize unnecessary abstractions.

Architecture

See Architecture Docs for the detailed Rust-based architecture.
