  • nannou

    A Creative Coding Framework for Rust.

    the "p5.js" of rust is definetelly nannou. but i wouldn't recommend it for something that is graphics heavy, nannou is great for visualizations, effects, animations and stuff, but for proper 3d rendering and stuff you should go to wgpu (which has a great walkthrough: https://sotrh.github.io/learn-wgpu/), or some opengl binding which there are many of: https://crates.io/keywords/opengl

  • wgpu

    Safe and portable GPU abstraction in Rust, implementing WebGPU API.

  • bevy

    A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust

    I'd personally recommend using the Bevy game engine. That will give you a ready-to go framework for rendering, object querying, and parallelization.

  • Fyrox

    3D and 2D game engine written in Rust

    And there is fyrox _3D and 2D game engine written in Rust _ and editor fyroxed.

  • learn-wgpu

    Guide for using gfx-rs's wgpu library.
