Bevy’s First Birthday: a year of open source Rust game engine development

• bevy

  574 32,210 9.9 Rust

  A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust

  

What kind of prototypes? I do engine prototyping basically daily and basically every feature I added to Bevy started as a prototype (I'm currently working on a new renderer). If you're talking about Bevy game prototypes, I built the Breakout example game and many of the other examples. I'll be doing "bigger" games starting this year, now that Bevy is reaching a level of maturity where this is a good use of my time. The first will likely come around the time Bevy 0.6 launches, as we plan on doing a game jam (which I will be participating in).

  Suggest changes to Bevy and view accepted designs (by bevyengine)

  

You will be happy to know that better/updated documentation is planned. It was briefly mentioned as "the new Bevy Book effort" in this paragraph of the blog post and there are a ton more details in this RFC. Your participation would be more than welcome!

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• wgpu

  195 10,910 9.9 Rust

  Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.

  

I'd politely disagree. In most other languages, you're probably right. However, Rust's strong type system and memory safety model make it extremely hard to mess up with things like that. The direct use of pointers is barely used in Bevy itself as far as I can tell. Instead of messing with pointer offsets, most Rust programs use something called Serde. The only place I think you may be right in is the GPU interface, except for the fact that this is currently being handled externally by wgpu-rs.

• serde

  191 8,572 9.1 Rust

  Serialization framework for Rust

  The source files for the official Bevy website

  

If you're curious about the ECS side of things, that chapter is now ~approximately complete, and should make an excellent learning resource: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/182

• gdnative

  93 3,560 6.4 Rust

  Rust bindings for Godot 3

  

If you want to use Godot but don't like GDScript there are other options already through, both officially languages and also unofficial ones such as Rust.

• Godot

  2,744 83,500 10.0 C++

  Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  

Haha weirdly enough, I actually added the initial C# profiler support to Godot.
