HELP: Unique ID's starting at 0 for each Type, advancing by one.
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/

I love rust, I have a pet peeve with the community
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!

Limitations of wasm for a small board game?
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.

2D game with barebone graphics library
Compare the basic examples to draw a simple shape like a triangle in wgpu (https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/blob/master/wgpu/examples/hello-triangle/main.rs), and in macroquad (https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad/blob/master/examples/basic_shapes.rs).

C++'s smaller cleaner language
Comparing raylib to bevy is like comparing a scooter to a sports car. They're not particularly comparable in functionality or design. If you want a fairer comparison, see macroquad.

Macroquad. https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad
- SDL2 vs Winit/Pixels/CPAL/etc. Is going "native" really worth it?

Is there any 2d only game library with high stuff. I think it would be light-er than bevy and won't crash my PC. Like pygame for python for an instance, supporting collision and stuff in Rust!!!!?
I've also used GGEZ and heard good things about Tetra.

Looking for an open-source project to join part-time
and speaking of game engines, tetra is a really nice one. it's kind of the opposite of bevy - it doesn't tell you how to architect your game, it just gives you some basic graphics/input/audio tools, and you're on your way.
What are some alternatives?
