Today we are checking out the Go language powered game engine Ebitengine. In our recent rundown of game engines by programming language series I often received requests to cover the Go programming language. Truth of the matter is, outside of language bindings, there are very few Go-powered game engines, certainly not enough to make any kind of dedicated list. There is however the Ebitengine, by far the most popular choice, an open source 2D cross platform game engine. Details of Ebitengine: A dead simple 2D game engine for Go Ebitengine (formerly known as Ebiten) is an open-source game engine for the Go programming language. Ebitengine’s simple API allows you to quickly and easily develop 2D games that can be deployed across multiple platforms.
