glow VS abstreet

You can absolutely do WebGL. glow is a good place if you want to do the webgl stuff yourself. With wgpu you can as well, though it is mostly targeted to the upcoming WebGPU standard. I have seen many crates that are capable of gltf loading, but I haven't used any yet. Hence I can't reall recommend one. But gltf capability does not really have anything to do with rust. As long as you can read a file and translate it to your engines scene/entity structure, I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to load gltf files.

Most of it is written in Rust and compiles to Wasm with WebGL/OpenGL bindings via glow. The settings panel is written in Elm and the whole project is compiled with Nix. There’s also a very basic native desktop app. I haven’t seen many examples of a complete setup like this, so hopefully this can serve as a template for anyone trying out a similar stack.

If you want to target desktop, mobile and/or web: https://github.com/grovesNL/glow

A/B Street, which comprises a UI library, lots of data import pipelines, and traffic simulation. 100k LoC, the only unafe is to make system calls through glow

https://github.com/grovesNL/glow is used by wgpu for its OpenGL ES / WebGL backend

By the way, nowadays many projects use glow instead of glutin because of.. I think it's because glow works on wasm, in the web (as webgl).

But what glow actually does is highlighted on lines 66 to 123. This section is filled with gl.some_function() calls, which is the same on every platform.

Super awesome! I like how you just color roads to show time. When you calculate polygons to try and cover the whole area in some 5-10 minute bucket, you can wind up with all sorts of odd holes far away from roads. Keep it simple.

A|B Street does some of that, but it is not a game: https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet

You can build it out in a cool simulator and show it off.

The tool you want exists, but you'll need to actually build the city in it. It's really an incredible program!

Active Travel England | Software Developers and Data Engineer | Full or Part Time | https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/active-travel-en...

Active Travel England will be developing tools to support evidence-based investment and policies to support sustainable transport. We're hiring 3 roles at present (there will be more jobs in January): https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?SI...

We are already working with the transport simulation and scenario development tool A/B Street and the Low Traffic Neighbourhood design tool: https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/ and plan to create new web applications to transform active travel infrastructure design, monitoring and evaluation.

An exciting thing about these jobs from a software engineering perspective is that you will be starting with a relatively blank slate. In the UK we already have tools like https://bikedata.cyclestreets.net and https://www.pct.bike/ but need to go further than this. Long term, the 7 strong Data and Digital team that you will be part of will develop a comprehensive map based design support tool to provide data of the type in BikeData (and more datasets), drawing tools, and automated assessment of proposed interventions.

These opportunities will enable you to shape the future of tools for active travel investment and policy in England and, because the software develop as part of these roles will be open source, beyond.

These high profile jobs will have a large impact, see here for context: https://twitter.com/Chris_Boardman/status/159648662743800217...

I don't know the topic well enough to be sure, but isn't this what you're looking for: https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet
