Practical, Pure Functional Game Engine

Repository hosting the functional Nu Game Engine and related projects. - bryanedds/Nu

Practical, Pure Functional Game Engine launched on September 20, 2014 with 29 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 12 years on.

In plain words

Nu is a functional game engine built with F# that enables developers to create 2D games using pure functional programming principles. The engine provides tools and libraries designed for game developers seeking an alternative to traditional imperative game development approaches. Its functional-first architecture aims to reduce bugs and improve code reliability through immutable data structures and functional composition. The project has been maintained since 2014 and includes related utilities and documentation in its repository.

    Hi friends, I started casually working on scrapscript in 2015. I built a few compilers over the years to test out various ideas/implementations, and I think I'm finally happy with the overall design. The code is not public yet. Email me at [email protected] if you're interested in joining the core team later this year. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback :)

    Modd.io is a collaborative game editor that runs in browser. It's kind of like Figma for game dev. We made this engine low-code and multiplayer-first, so developeres can quickly prototype casual multiplayer games. I hope some of you guys will find this useful. Would love to hear feedback also. Thank you. Engine Demo: https://www.modd.io
