Karl2D is a library for developing games using the Odin programming language.

Prerequisites

Make sure you follow the guide to install the Odin language and compiler on your Ubuntu system.

Create a project

Make a directory for your project:

mkdir my-new-game

Change into the project directory and clone the karl2d library:

cd my-new-game && git clone https://github.com/karl-zylinski/karl2d

Create a file named game.odin and edit it with your favorite text editor:

touch game.odin && vim game.odin

Add the code below:

package hello

import k2 "karl2d"

main :: proc() {
  k2.init(1280, 720, "Hello program")

  for k2.update() {
    k2.clear(k2.LIGHT_BLUE)
    k2.draw_text("Hello world!", {50, 50}, 100, k2.DARK_BLUE)
    k2.present()
  }

  k2.shutdown()
}

Still in the project directory, compile and run the game with:

odin run .
