Space Race: a simple Rust game built on the Bevy framework
When I saw a post announcing the release of the Bevy framework (an open source game engine written in Rust), I thought it'd be a fun way to learn Rust. So I made Space Race , a 2 player game on top of the Bevy framework. How to Play The Astronaut moves around collecting jewels (using WASD keys). The Alien moves around trying to catch the Astronaut (using arrow keys). The Astronaut wins if they collect at least 5 jewels and make it back to home base before the Alien catches them. The Alien wins otherwise. Things I learned about Rust I had a lot of fun making & playing this game, and also got some hands on experience with Rust like working with structs enums vectors iterators traits dyn trait vs impl trait dyn trait is used for trait objects, which are fat pointers made up of 1) a pointer to the value 2) a pointer to a vtable. A vtable is a table of methods, where each method points to its implementation, generated once at compile time. Each i...
