# ParadisSO - 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: * [GLFW 3.3.8](https://github.com/glfw/glfw) * [GLAD](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad)
