▲ 9 ▼ A Go 3D Game Engine
G3N is a basic (for now!) OpenGL 3D game engine written in Go. G3N was heavily inspired and based on the three.js Javascript 3D library. If you are curious about G3N and would like to see it in action we recommend that you install the G3N demo program.

It's exciting to see the recent progress that's been demonstrated using Go for games and 3D graphics. One needs look no further than the menagerie of JS and Python libraries to see that there is a market for software tools that let people write games without the development complexities of C/C++, even in spite of the substantial performance penalties those invoke. With Go's speed and ease of development, I'm optimistic that we could see a lot of growth in Go adoption in this area.
Yep, I'll definitely be interested to see how Go grows in sectors like gaming, which are traditionally dominated by C++. Rust might also be more appealing to game devs though, as it is more familiar for C++ developers. Most game software is still in C++.
