ggez VS AutoHotkey

Sounds like https://ggez.rs/.

Nice, can you add it to the list of projects https://github.com/ggez/ggez/blob/master/docs/Projects.md ?

ggez simple example (not working): https://github.com/ggez/ggez/tree/master/examples/01_super_simple.rs ggez bunnymark (works in batched mode only): https://github.com/ggez/ggez/blob/master/examples/bunnymark.rs wgpu example (working): https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/tree/master/wgpu/examples/hello-triangle

I’ve used https://ggez.rs for side projects and have been happy with it.

I've previously used ggez for simple pet projects, and have found it to be fairly simple for what you're describing

Take a look at https://github.com/ggez/ggez/blob/master/examples/spritebatch.rs

Alongside macroquad, ggez is also quite popular for 2D, It aims to implement an API based on a Rustified version of the LÖVE framework

I did look at GGEZ as well, and you probably should too.

Rust is a general purpose programming language. It can do low level systems programming but it's also highly capable of doing web backends, web frontends (wasm), game design, small utility scripts, etc.

A big thing people learning Rust do my mistake is to try and use all of the low level features straight away. Rust has tools like Rc, RefCell, Arc, and RwLock that let you have a garbage collected language (well, reference counted) and not worry about any of the low level memory management details.

See things like https://ggez.rs/ for games and https://www.arewewebyet.org/ for web stuff.

Although honestly I think if you're looking for a "hot" backend web language I'd say Elixir is the more well designed one than Go.

Other have given great examples, but i thought id also throw in Autohotkey, Incase anyone wants something that does this in every application (or the applications of your choice)

sharpkeys lets you remap any keys on windows without running a 3rd party program like autohotkey

Yes: Set up sbz-switch commands and use AutoHotkey to trigger them.

a not quite as general purpose alternative to python is lua. it is popular for adding customization to existing software like neovim (there are ready to use configs for better experience like lazyvim or astrovim) or autohotkey (if you're on windows).

AutoHotkey is a program/scripting language running on windows, that allows for easy creation of hotkey based execution of scripts. It is required to run this script.

Anyway, I used [AutoHotKey,](https://www.autohotkey.com/) a free open source scripting program for Windows (sorry Mac and Linux gamers, though you could try to mimic this with an alternative like AHK), to make these changes.
