## The Hook

macroquad is a simple, easy game library for Rust inspired by raylib: write one main loop and run the same code on Windows, Linux, macOS, the web, Android and iOS.

## What's Good

Apache-2.0 (not-fl3/macroquad), developed since 2020. Efficient 2D rendering with automatic batching, a built-in immediate-mode UI, very few dependencies (the README cites 16-second clean builds on an old laptop), and single-command deploys to WASM and Android. Great for game jams and learning. ★~4.7k.

## The Catch

Few tagged releases, and the last code change was August 2026, so updates come in bursts. It is intentionally minimal: no ECS, editor or 3D pipeline to speak of. A largely one-maintainer project.

## Verdict

The quickest way to get a Rust game on screen and into a browser.
