_A demo Arcana game_

[Arcana] is a new game engine built with focus on ease of use

without compromising on level of control.

The engine is aimed to support a wide variety of games,

from pixel-art to fully ray-traced,

from single-player puzzles to online strategies.

It is at a very early stage, not all necessary subsystems are done

and code is in flux.

The demo shown above was coded in a single evening,

together with sprite sheet loading and sprite animations

which will be integrated into the engine later.

Default 2D renderer renders sprites with auto-batching,

so all sprites are rendered in single instanced draw call,

allowing rendering millions of sprites in one frame.

Rendering is done with [`sierra`] - Vulkan-like graphics API with

batteries included.

Arcana uses [`hecs`] as ECS and rolls its own simplistic `System` trait

to define and run systems, once per frame or with fixed steps.

[`rapier`] physics is integrated for 2D cases, but system is kept opt-in.

Stay tuned for updates.
