Make 2D games using Odin!

Karl2D is a user-friendly Odin library for creating 2D video games. It has features such as:

• Drawing of textures, shapes and text
• Web build support, emscripten NOT needed
• Avoids big middleware libraries: Prefer OS and rendering API calls over libraries like GLFW
• Completely written in Odin and easy to modify. Just change the library code and recompile your game
