Raatai

Raatai is a software project that aims to provide a comprehensive set of tools and libraries for the development of 2D games. It is built on the Vulkan graphics API, which allows for high-performance rendering and efficient use of modern hardware. The project emphasizes ease of use and a modern development workflow, targeting C++ developers.

The core of Raatai is its game engine, which includes components for rendering, input handling, audio playback, and asset management. It is designed to be cross-platform, with support for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The rendering system leverages Vulkan's low-level control to achieve optimal performance, making it suitable for graphically intensive 2D games. The input handling system provides a unified interface for various input devices, simplifying the process of managing player controls.

In addition to the engine, Raatai offers a collection of utilities and libraries that assist in game development tasks. These may include tools for creating game assets, managing game logic, and debugging. The project's documentation aims to guide developers through its features and provide examples for common game development scenarios. Raatai is an open-source project, encouraging community contributions and collaboration. Its development is driven by the goal of creating a powerful yet accessible framework for 2D game creation using modern graphics technology.
