Simple: lightweight C++/OpenGL engine with a Python-first API

Simple

Simple is a small, production-oriented game/animation engine:

• Python-first API (import simple)
• C++/OpenGL 3.3 core for rendering + the main loop
• A lightweight editor for .sim projects with Play-in-Editor

from simple import Scene, Cube

scene = Scene()
cube = Cube()
scene.add(cube)
scene.run()

• Scene system: Scene + entities (Cube)
• Camera: view + perspective projection
• Input: keyboard + mouse (GLFW)
• HUD: scene.draw_text(...)
• Debug gizmos: scene.draw_line3d(...)
• Screenshots: scene.screenshot("frame.ppm")
• Editor: create/open .sim projects, edit objects, Play, Auto Reload
