An exploratory look at Rust game engines using the Boids life program - see video here

Description

Using Piston, Amethyst, Tetra, and Bevy, I explore the Rust game dev ecosystem and created thin UI wrappers over a reusable Flocking Boids program to test out some of the top Game Development options available in Rust.

Version

See Cargo.toml version

Platforms / Technologies

• Rust
• Cargo
• Bevy
• Piston

Note: see Cargo.toml to swap between Tetra/Bevy due to conflicts of native libraries

 $ cargo run --bin with_piston
 $ cargo run --bin with_bevy
 $ cargo run --bin with_tetra
 $ cargo run --bin with_amethyst

Another Note: I chose not to use Cargo Workspaces due to the format of the video and to keep the code simple and concise.
