Any suggestions for an opengl crate for making games in #rust ?
@KevinWho I'd probably go with https://lib.rs/glow
Also, here's an actively maintained (by rust gamedev discord) list of other relevant libraries: https://github.com/dasifefe/rust-game-development-frameworks#graphics-only
@ozkriff interesting. I was looking at WGPU, why does that one have a star next to it?
@KevinWho WGPU is the default graphics API for rusty games atm, so I think it's starred in that list because of the 1st and 3rd reasons:
"The star emoji means that the framework is excellent for one of the reasons:
1) Has many followers and maintainers.
2) Might have few followers and maintainers, but is in excellent quality and passed the test of time.
3) Uses modern standards (compared to peers)."
Note: I wouldn't count on its OpenGL backend too much, the Vulkan/Metal backends dominate it
