Getting Started

Let's build a simple "Hello world!" game to get started with Ebiten. First create a new directory (mkdir hello_world), and change into it (cd hello_world). Type the following code into the main.go file:

package main

import (
    "github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten"
    "github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/ebitenutil"
)

func update(screen *ebiten.Image) error {
    ebitenutil.DebugPrint(screen, "Hello world!")
    return nil
}

func main() {
    ebiten.Run(update, 320, 240, 2, "Hello world!")
}

Run the go run command to start the game. There you have it, your first Ebiten game!
