nannou VS macroquad

Another idea would be to do something with Nannou, it's pretty straightforward to get some visually pleasing results and I find these Processing/P5 inspired creative coding libraries allow for a lot of exploration and expression. The Coding Train is a YouTube channel which has dozens of these kinds of projects, translating them into Rust certainly is good exercise.

Assuming you’re talking about https://nannou.cc they advertise a slack, a matrix, and a github org.

Never used this, no idea If it's what you want, but maybe https://nannou.cc/?

https://nannou.cc/ may be worth checking out.

"creative coding" usually refers to a framework where a developer/artist can code up nice things quickly

for example https://github.com/nannou-org/nannou/blob/master/examples/dr...

I've exported individual frames using this mechanism, I've never tried gif encoding before but seems like there's support for it,

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.
