Veltrix Engine

The engine is in Alpha and is in active development

Veltrix Engine

3D/2D game engine built on Python with Pyglet and OpenGL.

## 🎯 What is Veltrix Engine?

Veltrix Engine is a game engine designed for simplicity and stability. It provides a complete solution for developing 3D/2D games in Python with rendering, physics, and UI system.
