macroquad VS Fyrox

See the macroquad docs for full details on building a WASM game.

Any opinion on ggez? I don't like how everything in macroquad is global state https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad/issues/333

I prefer examples like the ones in Macroquad: https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad/tree/master/examples. I'm not against advanced examples, but the priority should be extremely clear, minimal, self contained ones.

There were even discussions about deprecating static mut. Even if you think you got it right, there are too many things that might go wrong, like aliasing. For example, macroquad needs a complete rewrite because of their static mut.

It's based on macroquad and you can play the wasm version here: https://unvirtual.github.io/yinsh-rs/

The reality is that I have used unsafe that is also unsound out of convenience because fixing it is a papercut too many. And this tends to be common! I know enough to spot unsoundness in other projects (sometimes even early). But not enough to be confident in my own abilities to write sound unsafe code. Why? Because it's really flipping hard, that's why!

Given that you are making a game, you might want to consider using a game framework such as https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad/.Macroquad has full support for WASM, and will allow you to render your game both locally and in the browser via WASM depending on how you compile it.

Some other Rust game engines ship with their own physics engine. Fyrox, for example, has advanced 2D/3D physics, supporting rigid bodies, joints, ray casting and more. Godot too, which has community-led Rust bindings also has an in-built physics engine as well as a Godot-native extension using the Jolt physics engine. In fact, which is reported to be more performant than the official physics engine.

I would say Bevy isn't really similar to Unity. Something like Fyrox - https://fyrox.rs/ - would be more similar. Bevy is more low level and lacks an editor (as of now, it's planned)

Fyrox might be an option, but for what you're looking (simple game logic, low performance concerns, desire for complete editor) for I'd probably choose Godot over it.

Besides Bevy there’s also Fyrox Engine that looks very promising. https://fyrox.rs/

We have our own engine. There aren't really full engines available in the Rust ecosystem. Bevy attempts to fill this, but it's far from being feature complete. There's also https://fyrox.rs/, but that's also work in progress. There's also https://rend3.rs/ which is just a 3d renderer, so you'll need to build the rest of the engine yourself.

/uj they're probably talking about Fyrox https://github.com/FyroxEngine/Fyrox
