Bevy is a data-driven game engine built in Rust using the Entity Component System paradigm. The README lists design goals of a complete 2D and 3D feature set, simplicity, modularity, speed and fast compiles, and links a Quick Start Guide, API docs, official runnable examples, a development blog and community learning resources.

What it supplies: Bevy is a data-driven game engine built in Rust using the Entity Component System paradigm. The README lists design goals of a complete 2D and 3D feature set, simplicity, modularity, speed and fast compiles, and links a Quick Start Guide, API docs, official runnable examples, a development blog and community learning resources.

Useful for: - Build 2D or 3D games and interactive visualisations in Rust.
- Learn ECS-style engine design from the official examples.
- Run the breakout example to see a windowed app quickly.

First action: - Follow the Setup guide for your platform.
- Clone the repository, run git checkout latest (the default branch is main development), then cargo run --example breakout.
- Open the Quick Start Guide and the examples folder.

Prerequisites and limits: Needs Rust; the README says the minimum supported Rust version is generally close to the latest stable release. A window with default features uses App::new().add_plugins(DefaultPlugins).run(). The README has a Fast Compiles section for build times.

- The README warns Bevy is early in development with missing features and sparse documentation.
- A new version with API-breaking changes ships roughly every three months, with migration guides but no guarantee that migrations are painless.
- Rust knowledge is required.

The README states that except where noted, all code in the repository is dual-licensed under either the MIT License or the Apache License 2.0, at your option. Assets used in a game carry their own rights.
