Golang was created as server language. But with the time and curiosity of people, golang has covered GUI application and game development as well. I am sharing here one of the available golang library, on top of which you can create 2d games. Its gonutz/prototype . Sample video Gonutz/prototype is very small and easy to learn library. It's cross-platform , that means the game your are creating in one platform will be able to run on other platforms without any change in code ( in normal case ). This package currently supports windows , mac and linux. gonutz/prototype features Support for keyboard input Support for mouse input Support for 2d drawing Support for image and sprite-sheets Support for sound Want to learn more about this package.
