Games in Go
If you love the Go programming language as much as I do and want to create your game in it, I have some libraries for that in my Github account.
My entry for LD 36 was created in Go and runs on Windows without a C Compiler and without any extra dependencies, just a single .exe file

Here are some Go libraries for creating games:
- A simple 2D game framework
- Direct3D9 wrapper
- DirectSound8 wrapper
- Windows API wrapper
- A basic Windows audio mixer
- Read Gimp's .xcf files (see Gimp Image Editor)
- Load Tiled maps (created with the Tiled Map Editor)
- Create image atlases
- Generate Go byte arrays from files
- Create a single blob file from your resources
- Append a resource file to your executable for easy deployment
I hope these libraries provide value for fellow Go game programmers :-)
