## Engine Updates

### [Pixel Engine][pixel_engine]

[pixel_engine] by [@Maix0] is a 2D game engine that started as a Rust-version
of olcPixelGameEngine (written in C++). It was used as a learning project
for Maix0, where he worked on it for over 3 years.

This engine has a very straightforward API and is mostly CPU based
(the exception is Decals which are GPU-sprites) but it can achieve some things.
Use it as a way to learn new algorithms or to make a simple game.

It uses [wgpu] underneath so there is support for all desktop targets and WASM
(even though there is a bug in the WASM builds
where the keyboard layout is only QWERTY).

The most recent addition is the [SpriteRef], a way to create a view
inside a sprite where it is possible to draw in it.
You can have multiple non-overlapping views at the same time.
