Rust Programming

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/490551

So I'm currently looking to move my game design project(s) over to Rust because I do truly like the language (albeit being frustrated when I tried using it the last time, but I think that was because I let things get complicated without blackboxing them). However, I'm looking for a good framework or engine before diving in with OpenGL/Vulkan and getting my hands dirty with that system (which is what I was using initially).

For the record, one of my games is going to be in the style of Octopath Traveler and the other I'm looking at either doing the same or doing a voxel game. Game 1 is a JRPG and Game 2 is gonna be a combo Tactics/Puzzle game.

I've bounced back and forth a bit with both game engines in Rust but also just implementations for this project in general (Game 1, that is). I've moved from C to C++ to Unreal Engine to Rust back to C, then to C++ then now back to Rust again. Within Rust specifically, like I said, I did use I believe it was glium and egui to for my OpenGL calls and GUI respectively, but this time around, I've looked at specifically Bevy and Fyrox, but I'm not too settled on either. Fyrox seems like a lot to deal with for the projects I'm going for (which is one of the reasons I switched off of Unreal Engine), but Bevy is a little bit difficult to get a handle on with my project (Game 1).

Does anyone have any advice for me on how to go about this? Thanks in advance!

Hopefully, I'm not breaking any rules by posting this here!

I thought that instead of every community being on the main lemmy.ml instance I'd host a different (dedicated) instance for refugee rustaceans to get a hang of the fediverse.

It's listed on join-lemmy/instances and the link is lemmyrs.org, everyone is welcome!

Hi all,

I started learning rust a few months ago on my free time. I went through the most difficult already like borrow checker and I used the Learning Rust book from Jim Blandy as reference especially for its first chapters.

This is not my first time learning a language I already have experience with Python, Go, JS, C, Lua ... but with Rust it feels different.

Everytime I learned a new lang there was always a milestone I crossed that made me feel comfortable using the language, that milestone was always some side project or program I needed anyway.

I am trying to do the same with Rust but the slowness of learning and looking up the docs coupled with the verbosity of the language is not very motivating. Don't get me wrong, I really want to use Rust and learn it as it looks very elegant and clean, I already learned a lot more about lower level details of programming. The documentation is probably the most elaborate one I ever used for a programming language.

To keep me going I am practicing Rustlings while a procrastinate to work on the side project I chose as first project.

I am just curious how others passed that milestone with Rust.

I made this so I can prevent my web server from exceeding a disk usage quota that is enforced by deleting the home directory

The conference will be in November in Florence, CfP will close in a few weeks!

Rust Trademark Policy Draft Revision – Next Steps

I would like to know if there are any proposals for internal file organization, like what to put from top to bottom...

Example: start with pub use declarations, then use, the mod, enums, traits, etc.

I've seen rustfmt has some options like reorder_imports that may impose some partial structure, but I would like a more comprehensive guide/spec...

If there's nothing like that. Can we maybe discuss something that makes sense? 🤔

Oracle, Is that you?

I want to announce a new version of the activitypub-federation crate. Over the last weeks I worked on major improvements to the usability and documentation. It now includes an extensive guide on getting started to implement federation from scratch, and also an example project which can directly be deployed to a server and federate with projects like Mastodon.

The library takes care of basic functionality like HTTP Signatures, activity sending, and fetching data from other servers. Application developers can focus on the main logic, and treat federation as another form of API. There is no restriction to the content being federated: you can implement a microblogging platform, link aggregator, video hosting site or any other type of social media. The goal is to encapsulate all basic functionality, so that developers can easily implement federation without any prior knowledge.

Using this library can help to share core Activitypub logic between different projects, so that the same code doesn’t have to be implemented and maintained separately by each project. This way improvements can benefit everyone. It also encourages the use of effective patterns to make Rust and Activitypub work together. All of this has been proven to work in Lemmy which uses this library and is the biggest Activitypub project written in Rust.

Seems really neat, basically the next.js but for rust. Based on sycamore, a web-ui library for rust.

Looks like it does well in the framework benchmarks too.

This project aims at providing nightly builds of all official rust mdbooks in epub format. It is born out of the difficulty I encountered when starting my rust apprenticeship to find recent ebook versions of the official documentation.
