This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
Pharos-Engine
A Rust + wgpu game engine with a Python authoring surface. Runs headless from pip install pharos-engine; add the optional imgui-bundle editor with pip install pharos-engine[editor].
pip install pharos-engine
import pharos_engine as ph
engine = ph.Engine()
scene = ph.Scene()
engine.load_scene(scene)
scene.add(ph.Entity(name="player", position=(0.0, 0.0)))
# The engine works headless — no window, no GPU init required.
# For a live tick loop, iterate the entities:
for _ in range(60):
dt = 1.0 / 60.0
for entity in scene.entities:
entity.tick(dt)
Optional desktop editor
pip install pharos-engine[editor] # pulls pharos-editor transitively
pharos-edit # boots a Nova3D-parity docked editor

Architecture
| Layer | Language | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Core simulation | Rust | pharos_core — physics, fluid (PBF), softbody (XPBD), geometry, IK |
| Renderer | Rust + wgpu (→ Vulkan / D3D12 / Metal) | pharos_render — VCR pipeline, CSM shadows, skinning, GPU compute |
| Python bindings | Rust cdylib (PyO3) | pharos_py — the _core extension module |
| Engine API | Python | pharos_engine — thin authoring surface |
Python is a wrapper, not a runtime. Every hot path is Rust.
Status: alpha (v0.0.1a1)
- Rust simulation kernels (physics / fluid / softbody)
- wgpu render backend (VCR pipeline scaffold, CSM, skinning)
- Python engine surface (
Engine,Scene,Entity) - 2D CPU raster path
- 2D GPU pipeline (numpy → wgpu texture blit) — in progress
- 3D scene draw calls (renderer scaffold only clears today) — in progress
- glTF import wiring end-to-end — in progress
