77 portable SKILL.md skills across 12 engines (Godot, Unity, Unreal, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, Bevy, pygame, LÖVE, Roblox, Defold, Ebitengine), with a router.
Tested by GameSkill
25/25 checks passed on Ebitengine v2.10.5 (Go 1.27.3), WebAssembly build in Chrome headless (2026-11-03): trigger, a runnable example, a screenshot and self-check, one job per skill, and English + Chinese docs. Trigger checks match prompts against skill descriptions; they are not a live agent run.

Self-check
- 命令从 skill 目录解析路径，不从游戏目录 / Resolve script paths from the skill folder, not the game folder
- 规则放在 Update，Draw 只画，不推进游戏、不读输入边沿、不播音效 / Rules in Update; Draw only draws, never advances play, reads input edges or starts sounds
- 时间用 tick 或固定 dt，不用 ActualTPS / Time in ticks or a fixed dt, never ActualTPS
- 改完循环、输入、音频代码后跑 check_ebitengine.py / Run check_ebitengine.py after changing loop, input or audio code
- 浏览器版本要用 HTTP 打开并看控制台 / Open browser builds over HTTP and read the console
- 交付时写清楚跑过什么、没验证什么 / Hand off what was run and what is still unverified

Create, improve, debug and package playable 2D games in Go with Ebitengine (github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/v2): a game design translated into a complete loop, input, rendering, text, audio, scenes, gameplay tests and desktop, browser or mobile builds.
From the ebitengine-game SKILL.md in gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills.
What's inside
- Delivery workflow: inspect, playable slice, complete and refine, verify, hand off
- Starting a project with the bundled starter
- Loop and resource contracts (Update, Draw, Layout)
- Essential Ebitengine choices: input, rendering, text/UI, audio, systems, state
- Verification: vet, rule tests, the checker, headless capture, target builds
Requirements
- Go 1.25+ (Ebitengine v2.10.5 is fetched by go mod tidy)
- Python 3 for new_game.py and check_ebitengine.py
- Desktop builds on Linux need X11, OpenGL and ALSA development headers; browser builds need none
