vectorcade-shared

Pure Rust API contracts for the VectorCade arcade game platform.

vectorcade-shared is the root of a multi-repo dependency graph for building vector graphics arcade games in Rust. It provides traits, types, and utilities that downstream crates depend on.

Quick Links

Features

  • Display-list rendering - Games emit DrawCmd commands
  • Game lifecycle - Game trait with update/render loop
  • Input abstraction - Keyboard, gamepad, pointer via InputState
  • Vector fonts - VectorFont trait for stroke-based glyphs
  • Collision detection - AABB, circle, line intersection
  • Math utilities - Interpolation, screen wrapping, 3D projection
  • Projectile systems - 2D and 3D projectiles with collision
  • Deterministic RNG - GameRng trait for replay support
