Add macroquad to Game Engines

[didibear]

This adds macroquad (crate) to the list of game engines. Here are some resources:

• Macroquad website with examples
• Awesome Quads: Curated list of links to miniquad/macroquad-related code & resources

Do you have any insight as how to macroquad differs to ggez, and when/why one might prefer to use one or the other? I'd prefer not to just list a bunch of options as the whole purpose of this site is to provide guidance as to which libraries people ought to use.

Basically, I would say they are equivalent:

• Generated comparison here
• Almost the same amount of monthly downloads here:
  • https://lib.rs/crates/macroquad/rev
  • https://lib.rs/crates/ggez/rev
• Reddit post recommending both:
  • [Beginner] Are there any easy 2d graphic libraries? (1 month ago)
  • Decision paralysis: ggez or macroquad (4 month ago)
  • New to game dev (6 month ago)
• macroquad officially supports most platforms here while ggez currently seems to have an alternative project using miniquad to support some here

I personally tried both and prefer macroquad for its simplicity, such as this arkanoid example. I would recommend it for beginners.

What do you think of it ? :)
