ECS, Finally
I'm working my way through the HandsOnRust book that guides you through creating a simple roguelike using Rust and Legion ECS. It's a really enjoyable experience so far, and I'm looking towards trying out Bevy ECS afterwards to compare the two.

Disappointing experience with 'Command-Line Rust': Seeking more comprehensive Rust resources
But if you really want to follow more things then hands on rust and zero to production are two good quality books for learning rust through game dev and web development respectively. But I would still urge you to try a few things by yourself first.

Learning Rust with “Hands On Rust”
Started learning rust a while ago but I needed something to walk me through the features while building something useful. I discovered Hands On Rust and have learned more in 3 hours of building flappy bird clones than in two weeks of experimenting with tutorials.

I'm a beginner and write Go code. Is there anything similar to 'Let's Go' for Rust?
There is Zero To Production In Rust which goes through building a webserver in rust from the ground up. Or Hands on rust for learning rust by building a game.

Any good books for studying rust?
Some (optionally) in print: * Rust in Action * Programming Rust * Hands-On Rust * Rust for Rustaceans

Give advice to a code illiterate to start learning
Game development though might be a harder place to start. You may find other more basic areas easier to get going. Though there is a good book on learning rust with game dev Hands on Rust that you might find enough.

The Rust Programming Book is not good for Beginners?
Other books/resources you might find helpful - Rust by example - a good compliment to The Book that shows concepts with examples. Though does not explain things as much. - Zero To Production In Rust - a look at webservers and taking them to production (still being written though) - Hands on rust - a look at introducing rust with gamedev. - Easy rust - Many more listed here
- Trying to decide a roadmap for becoming a Rust developer. / Good beginner projects to try?

Question about bracket-lib and how fonts and images are loaded
This is a beginner question. I'm following Hands-On Rust to build simple games. One thing that isn't clear to me so far is how `bracket-lib` actually load the fonts and image of different characters from a single PNG file. Is the PNG file segmented in certain pixel values so that `bracket-lib` could access each square of the image like an array? Does this mean that this PNG file must be always designed in specific ways? Thanks for helping!

Sharing Saturday #387
One year ago, I released the first beta for Hands-on Rust. What a wild and awesome ride it has been! The book has been on the publisher's best sellers list for 50 of the last 52 weeks, since the print edition came out it's been in Amazon's top 10-20 for "C Language" and sometimes "Game Development" most of the time. I had a "good grief, am I famous?" moment when a relative (who works for one of the huge American social media companies) sent me a pic showing Hands-on Rust sitting on his boss's desk.

It doesn't teach on its own, but the libtcod-vcpkg-template can help with quickly setting up Vcpkg and libtcod in a cross-platform manner. Parts might need to be updated to work with C++20 or later. This template also creates Emscripten builds.

Cannot get libtcod to compile properly using vcpkg on Fedora Linux
Hello all. I'm trying to get the libtcod example project to compile, but seem to be running into errors at every step. When I compile normally and run the binary, I get the error:
-
C++ and libtcod; linker errors
I've just checked, and Visual Studio can build/run the libtcod template. So if you setup a CMakeLists.txt to use Vcpkg then your project should run even without VSCode's CMake Tools plugin.

RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial - Week 1
I'm working in C++17 and doing the ancient C++ tutorial on RogueBasin. I'm starting from the libtcod C++ template and plan on using the latest libtcod features rather than the older ones taught by that tutorial. My new repository is here.

C++ libraries for ascii graphics?
Libtcod's Vcpkg template could work for your conditions. The tools it uses are cross-platform, using VSCode as the IDE rather than Visual Studio, but running CMake manually should work also.
-
Are there any actual full tutorials for installing libtcod with vcpkg and cmake?
I've made this template project, but I've since modified it so that I can use it to develop libtcod with, so right now it only uses Vcpkg to fetch the dependencies for libtcod and then builds libtcod from a submodule. This template is complete as-is and will compile and run if you follow the instructions.

Sharing Saturday #409
I've updated the C++ template project to upload build artifacts (listed as automated-builds in any passing workflow.) It also automatically publishes builds as GitHub Releases when you push an annotated tag to the repository. I added one of the libtcod fonts too so that it's clear how to handle data assets in a project.

Installing libtcod c++ on Linux/Ubuntu
The GitHub releases don't include a Linux binary, you'll have to compile it yourself. The easiest way is to use the template project which is cross-platform.
