# ParadiSO - a minimal 2D graphics engine

**ParadiSO** was conceived as a heavily stripped down 2D version of my `pixwerx` engine. *ParadiSO* mimics a minimalistic approach to 2D graphics for educational purposes. It uses modern C++ and a data-driven design, but no ECS.

## Educational

Some arguments for its educational side:
* mix and match of various concepts and paradigms to write expressive but concise code
* heavily inspired by Rust code
* math code is eager evaluation but `constexpr` to compensate overheads
* hides old-style `C` APIs behind a renovated facade

* it leans heavily on the STL and its algorithms
## Minimal
Because this engine should show some patterns and design concepts it tries to avoid adding unnecessary bloat.
## Dependencies
ParadiSO comes with batteries included. However, it should be mentioned here:

## Toolchains
ParadiSO is being developed to work on all major desktop systems.
- Windows (Visual Studio Build Tools 2022)
- MacOS (clang 14 or later)
- Linux (clang 14 or later, gcc 13.2.1)
Other combinations might work but are untested.
