is a cross-platform game framework for making 2D games with minimum friction. It aims to implement an API based on the LÖVE game framework.

This version has finally moved ggez away from pre-ll gfx and into the world of [wgpu](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu)! This hopefully means less bugs, greater stability and easier maintainability at the cost of some low performance devices such as the raspberry pi.

As for the user-facing API, instead of module functions we now use methods on sub-contexts which look like `ctx.keyboard.is_key_pressed(key)`. You are now required to pass around an explicit canvas to draw onto. DrawParam now has a z (aka layer) parameter so you don't have to draw objects in order. And shaders are far easier to use now that use normal Rust structs with a simple derive.

As this is a rather large update and a first release candidate, there are plenty of bugs we are currently working on fixing, and please send us any issues you encounter at [GitHub](https://github.com/ggez/ggez/issues)!
