## But why?
Rapidly prototype a simple 2D game, pixel-based animations, or an emulator for your favorite platform. Then add shaders to simulate a CRT or just to spice it up with some nice VFX.

`pixels` is more than just a library to push pixels to a screen, but less than a full framework. You're in charge of managing a window environment, event loop, and input handling.
## Features
- Built on modern graphics APIs: DirectX 12, Vulkan, Metal, OpenGL.
- Built on modern graphics APIs powered by [`wgpu`](https://crates.io/crates/wgpu): DirectX 12, Vulkan, Metal, OpenGL.
- Use your own custom shaders for special effects. (WIP)
- Hardware accelerated scaling on perfect pixel boundaries.
- Supports non-square pixel aspect ratios. (WIP)

To demonstrate `pixels`, I've written a Space Invaders clone. The game logic can be found in the `simple-invaders` crate. The included example uses `simple-invaders` to rasterize the image, and `pixels` to display it. `winit` provides the windowing and event handling.
```bash
cargo run --example invaders
cargo run --release --example invaders
```
See the [example's README](./examples/invaders) for more information.
