An interactive, hardware-accelerated vector graphics simulation engine written in rust.

# Motivation

The goal is to prototype an interactive simulation engine using a leading GPU path rendering library. This project is hoping to prove GPU vector graphics' usefulness in the graphic programming ecosystem through means of benchmarking and demos. This project is dependent on the research in [vgpu-bench](https://github.com/simbleau/vgpu-bench) to complete before proceeding with a logical renderer.

The intent is for this engine library to be capable of interactive physical simulations using paths with infinitessimally precise continuous collision detection.

## State

vgpu is in stalled development. It will be developed after research has been completed in [vgpu-bench](https://github.com/simbleau/vgpu-bench).

## FAQ

### In a nutshell, what is an interactive simulation engine?

An interactive simulation engine provides an API abstraction to digest input which will be rendered in real-time to visualize a simulation.

### What is left to do before vgpu 1.0?

See the [1.0 milestone](https://github.com/simbleau/vgpu/milestone/1) on the github repository.

### I need help!
