Investing more of my spare time on #GitHubGameOff. I've decided to simplify things a bit by making the mods floating targets which hurt you if you make a mistake. Most of the game logic is done, including level transitions and message interludes for the storyline. Gotta start making it more interesting. #rustgamedev

Day 2 of #GitHubGameOff development: spent maybe a bit way too much time thinking about simple collision and WASM support, but at least it's mostly covered now. Also started drafting a 3D model for the incoming enemies (with a great "is my passion " vibes) using #blockbench. I'm thinking that I have a long corridor ahead of me.

Just started developing my entry for this year's #GitHubGameOff. Bootstrapped a #bevy 3D game with dim lighting, linear fog, a simple corridor with textured planes, and a cool ordered dithering effect for the most intense moments.

This week I did something different: a puzzle game for #msdos written in #rustlang. https://e-net4.itch.io/dos-tilers

Still learning Ratatui, building a little Text-based UI game. Wondered how to add fireworks to the victory screen and discovered a Bevy Ratatui plugin on the way!

Been trying out Ratatui, inspired by the fantastic text-based user interface apps out there.

Built a little numbers game for trying it out.

Found the Ratatui docs marvellous, with 3 tutorials getting you from hello world to adding unit tests.

My new book – Advanced Hands-on Rust – is now in beta! Intermediate to advanced Rust, writing games in the Bevy engine. Generics, traits, macros, library creation and more. https://pragprog.com/titles/hwmrust/advanced-hands-on-rust/
#rust #rustgamedev #bevyengine

@pragprog beta books get you most of the e-book now (sadly, we can’t ship out a new print for every beta!), and each subsequent release as the book advances towards final release. You can also file bug reports and help make the book better.

Here's also our postmortem of 3 years of Rust gamedev, and why we're leaving Rust

We just released our fast survivors game UNRELAXING QUACKS on Steam!

And please do post reviews on Steam, these really help us as a developer gain more visibility, even if the review is negative, be honest!

While I'm stuck with writing egui android app to parse/create watchfaces (i'm almost rewrote watchface-js in rust), decided to write simple prove of concept in #macroquad / #miniquad that redraws only on user input
I wrote it entirely on my phone using termux
It seems that I need to configure cargo fmt line width to 50 in my project

Behold! New invention, tic-tac-toe:
