According to the rules, I need to publish my code-base before the competition starts.

This will be posted on /r/rust so other Rust hackers has the same benefit.

 

Because my goal is to improve Rust-Graphics, a back-end agnostic graphics engine,

the following will be part of my code-base:

https://github.com/bvssvni/rust-graphics (the graphics engine)

https://github.com/bvssvni/piston (the game engine, depends on Rust-Graphics, glfw-rs and rust-opengles)

https://github.com/bvssvni/rust-snake (example project, depends on Piston)

 

To install Rust, you can clone one of the projects and type `make nightly-install`.

This will install a nightly build of Rust on your machine.

 

The best way to iterate between multiple projects is using symlinks `ln -s <from> <to>`.

Symlink the .rlib library located in `target/cpu-vendor-os/lib/` folder to the same folder in next project.

 

Some updates on Rust-Graphics:

1. Alpha blending

2. Clear background

3. Fill rectangles

4. Fill polygons (convex)

5. Fill ellipses

 

Rust-Graphics now supports procedural polygon triangulation for convex polygons.

It also has some interpolation algorithms.

This will hopefully make it faster to add new functionality.

 

I will update Rust-Graphics while trying to make a small game.

Join the #rust-gamedev channel at irc.mozilla.org to get status updates.

Feel free to experiment with Rust-Graphics!
