PixelFaucet Game

PixelFaucet is a "Game Engine" written in the Crystal programming language and uses SDL2 under the hood to create a window, renderer, and draw pixels. See the examples.

The examples can be built by running the ./scripts/build_examples.rb script. This will place the binaries in the examples/build folder.

PixelFaucet requires the crystal compiler which can be installed via homebrew

Create a new project:

crystal init app my_game

Add the dependency to your shard.yml:
