To be honest, the project is kind of mimicking Slick2D which is a simple Java framework that introduced me into graphics programming in the first place.

My kind of dream project here is to maybe make a little tutorial series on how to use the library making a small game with it. Maybe inspire a few young people to get into graphics/game programming to show how simple it is - in the go domain specifically. The library is kind of a no thrills graphics library, maybe I should market it that way.

The project doesn't really market itself too much right now, and I don't think I will focus on that till I've written a reasonably polished game in it either. But thank you for that link I will bookmark it.

Kind of just throwing the project up on here for people to look at & critique.

And that is a point... the feature project is a text editor. Though I think it looks a bit more impressive than the alternative which is a little game I'm working on in my spare time.

The library itself is worked on from time to time. The last commit was a few days ago (a small patch however).

Honestly, I’d love to see a project like GoRails but for game programming, maybe with quarterly topics on eg making a FPS, RTS, etc. I would definitely pay a subscription for that.

Are you working with Phi? I'm interested in a GUI editor frontend for Vim, Kakoune/etc and the idea of using Go for the GUI sounds very interesting!
