### [Bevy Retrograde][bevy_retrograde]

[Bevy Retrograde][bevy_retrograde] (formerly Bevy Retro) is a [Bevy] plugin
designed for making pixel-perfect games as easily as possible.

This project was released under the [Katharos License][katharos_license]. This
license has moral and ethical implications that you may or may not agree with,
so please read it before making use of this project.

In the last two months, Bevy Retrograde has gotten a major update and is also on
crates.io for the first time!

- The transform system was migrated to use Bevy's own transform system.
- The pixel-perfect alignment restriction can now be optionally disabled on a
per-sprite basis. This makes it possible to do smooth character and projectile
movement if desired.
- The [Heron] physics engine ( which is powered by Rapier ) was integrated, with
a custom extension for automatically creating collision shapes from sprite
outlines.
- It was decided to start work on migrating Bevy Retrograde to use Bevy's own
rendering abstraction, making it compatible with the larger Bevy rendering
ecosystem. This will hopefully be finished in the next release.

More information can be found in the Bevy Retrograde
[release notes][bevy_retrograde_release_notes].
