https://github.com/nannou-org/nannouAn open-source creative-coding toolkit for Rust built on the Bevy game engine. nannou provides a suite of specialized crates for graphics (nannou_draw, nannou_wgpu), audio (nannou_audio), MIDI (nannou_midi), OSC (nannou_osc), video (nannou_video), webcam capture (nannou_webcam), and laser projection (nannou_laser). It includes nannou_core for headless or embedded applications and nannou_isf for Interactive Shader Format support.
nannou_webcam is a webcam API designed for the nannou creative coding framework. It provides cross-platform webcam capture by using nokhwa on native platforms and MediaStreamTrackProcessor on WebAssembly (WASM).
Key features include:
Image assets.nannou_audio is the audio API for the nannou creative coding framework. It provides a high-level interface for handling audio tasks in nannou applications. It is built on top of cpal, a pure-Rust, cross-platform audio library.
Key features include:
nannou_osc provides a simple OSC (Open Sound Control) API for the nannou creative coding framework. It acts as a thin, zero-cost abstraction over std::net::UdpSocket and uses the rosc crate for low-level protocol encoding and decoding.
Key features include:
Sender and Receiver APIs for UDP sockets.Iterator APIs for the Receiver type.midir for cross-platform MIDI I/O and is inspired by bevy_midi. MIDI ports are automatically discovered as entities, and connections are managed through the Entity Component System (ECS).nannou is an open-source creative-coding toolkit for Rust. It provides tools for creating graphics, user interfaces, and low-level GPU access. The library enables you to create windows, draw to them, and handle user interactions like mouse movement and keyboard presses.
Key features include:
nannou is built on the Bevy game engine and is exposed as a Bevy plugin. This allows you to use the nannou sketch/app API either as a standalone tool or integrated within the broader Bevy ecosystem.
The nannou_wgpu crate provides integration for the WebGPU specification via the wgpu crate. It re-exports the entire wgpu crate, allowing you to use standard WebGPU APIs within nannou.
When accessing this through nannou::wgpu, the following features are enabled by default:
image: Enables interoperation with the image crate, including functions for uploading textures from image files.capturer: Provides the wgpu::TextureCapturer API to simplify downloading textures from the GPU and saving them as image files (useful for recording window contents).nannou_draw crate provides the Draw API, a simple and expressive way to draw 2D and 3D graphics. It is built on top of the Bevy game engine. The NannouDrawPlugin handles the rendering of meshes, text, textures, and shaders generated by the Draw API using Bevy's renderer.Nannou provides a wide range of tutorials categorized by functional area to help you build creative coding projects. Depending on your experience level and project goals, you can follow paths for:
Draw API for 2D shapes, animation, images, 3D shapes, and meshes.The nannou_video crate provides a Bevy plugin, NannouVideoPlugin, designed for decoding and playing back video within the Bevy engine.
Key features:
video-rs for decoding.Image assets.The nannou_derive crate provides procedural macros for the nannou framework, such as the #[shader_model] attribute used to define custom shader models for the Draw API.
Instead of depending on nannou_derive directly, you should typically use the main nannou crate. The macros are re-exported via the nannou crate's prelude, making them available for use in your creative coding projects automatically when you import the prelude.
Nannou provides several resources for different stages of development:
