Looks great! I also enjoyed learning Go immensely and use it for server-side. Never expected that it would work as a game engine so well!

Seems like it's time to start playing with Go again :)

May I ask what platform did you develop it in and if it is 100% cross-platform?

Go actually works really well as a game engine: godotengine.org/

Isn't godot C++?

Wow, yes it is... sorry for the misconception.

Given the name, it's mighty tempting.

The only reason it stuck out to me is because I know a game team using godot and doing their backend in Rust. I couldn't believe the client was golang and they wouldn't use the same for the server. lol

Thanks!

I developed on Windows and it runs the same on macOS/Windows.

Ebiten games work on various platforms like desktops (Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD), web browsers (GopherJS and WebAssembly), and mobiles (Android and iOS).
