BlueEngine VS rust-android-gradle

Hey there! Author of Blue Engine here.

What you're describing can be done with any engine that does support creating shapes from vertices directly. I'm the author of Blue Engine and, in case of icospehere, I have built something similar which you can check if it can suit you.

I thought for a second you meant physical rust... Anyway, rust doesn't have any benefits in FTC. If you really needed to use it you could try to use this but you still won't have any way of using the FTC SDK as it was built for java(at least without porting it to rust which will be a ton of work).

Is there any easy way to do this? I've seen this plugin as well, but it looks pretty much the same

That's significantly better than the C world where each project comes bundled with a bespoke build system that nobody else uses. I'm also not convinced that cargo present a significant barrier to interop. There's a Rust plugin for gradle (https://github.com/mozilla/rust-android-gradle) which bridges between gradle and Cargo. Looks simple enough to me.

rust-android-gradle to hook cargo into Android Gradle project

This works great for android https://github.com/mozilla/rust-android-gradle

The mozilla gradle plugin makes compiling and packaging rust libraries quite painless. The jni-crate can be used on Android as well.
