Great job! In fact, I have watched your game-engine for a long time (Currently, I'm making my own - korok.io).

But Clock of Atonement and Bluebird of Happiness is not available in China and I cann't download it with a China region Appstore account. Can you changes this?

Great work! I have just started working on a game project and go, and am definitely planning on using some of these libraries! I'll definitely contribute back when I can.

Out of curiosity, did you use another library for collision detection or write something simple yourself?

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback!

No, since our games don't need such physics engines or collision detections. There are some such engines like Box2D in Go (github.com/ByteArena/box2d) and you can use this with our engine.
