Newsletter 34 - May 2022 #1033

ozkriff · 2022-05-27T20:24:12Z

Newsletter 34: May 2022

tags: `newsletter`

Editors: @ozkriff, @17cupsofcoffee, and @AngelOnFira

Another month has gone by, so it's time to put together the Rust Gamedev newsletter with May's news!

Current Schedule

The deadline for all section PRs is 2022.05.31.

We may still accept PRs that are submitted later than this, as long as they're ready before the newsletter's release, but this isn't guaranteed. If you want your section to be included, don't leave it till the last minute!

How to Contribute

If you want to help writing the newsletter:

Read CONTRIBUTING.md.
Choose one or more of the "🆓 free" sections listed below, and leave a comment letting us know you want to work on them.
- The links in brackets (like "1, 2, 3") are suggestions of links to include in the section. Feel free to add more!
- The username listed next to the section (like "@ozkriff?") is a suggestion of who may want to pick up the work (usually the project's developer, or someone who has expressed interest in the past).
- You are not obligated to write a section if you're tagged or your project is listed! You're welcome to ask someone else to write the section, or to ask for your project to be excluded from this month's post.
- Extra sections not listed in the plan are welcomed - just leave a comment and open a PR!
Write a short overview in the newsletter's Markdown file, making sure to follow the style guidelines (see below).
Send a PR to the source branch (example: N15: A/B Street #336).
Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together.

Style Guidelines

The full style guide is in CONTRIBUTING.md, but here are the most important rules:

Write in third-person perspective.
Each line must be 80 characters or less, for ease of reviewing/diffing.
Only one image per section is allowed.
- The maximum size is 300kb for static images and 2.5mb for GIFs.
- The image should come before the text, and must have alt text for accessibility.
- Prefer static images to GIFs, to keep the page load times down.
Each section should be under 1000 characters, and under 6 paragraphs.
- This only applies to the rendered text, not the markup.
Keep formatting minimal - no bold/italics/etc.
Avoid long/nested bullet point lists - no changelogs!

Please use these templates as a starting point:

Games/apps/libraries:

### [Game name]

![alt text](img)
_optional image label_

[Game name] ([GitHub], [Discord], [Twitter]) by [@nickname]
is... {short project description in one sentence}.

{An overview of the recent updates with links to more details}.

_Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twitter](link), [etc](link)_

[Game name]: http://example.com

Articles/blog posts/videos/etc:

### [Article name]

![alt text](img)
_optional image label_

[@nickname] published an [article] about...
{overview what the resource is about}.

_Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twiter](link), [etc](link)_

[Article name]: http://example.com

The repo is here, and mirrored here

orhun · 2022-05-28T09:04:08Z

Hey, I just saw that my battleship game is on the list. Do I need to submit a PR to add it to this months newsletter or is it going to be in the "Other" section or something?

ozkriff · 2022-05-28T09:41:18Z

@orhun yeah, you're welcome to submit a PR!
(the "Other News" section is for stuff that no one has written about)

makspll · 2022-05-28T13:40:12Z

Happy to write about bevy_mod_scripting, thanks for the shoutout!

4JX · 2022-05-28T23:49:53Z

Can I delay the mention of my project for a future issue? I feel it's not quite ready for prime-time yet.

mwbryant · 2022-05-28T23:54:55Z

I can handle my bevy shader videos, I actually just finished the 3 part series so it will fit nicely

ozkriff · 2022-05-29T08:31:25Z

@4JX sure! removed from the current plan.

kunos · 2022-05-29T08:49:24Z

will add a section on Hydrofoil Generation

Part of rust-gamedev#1033 newsletter.

shnewto · 2022-05-30T02:43:53Z

👋 I've got a blurb for limbo pass I'll PR shortly

allenwyma · 2022-05-30T05:46:51Z

Am I supposed to do something?

h3r2tic · 2022-05-31T09:30:49Z

❤️ I'll do a kajiya one next month instead -- I was hoping to release a major update in the past few days, but it's gonna slip until the next weekend instead, thus June.

gavlig · 2022-05-31T10:32:12Z

I'll hopefully contribute with Gryazevichki for the next issue. At this stage i only have a few gifs of wip stuff but nothing is finished or ready for viewing yet. and the old published version is not worth another article imho.

ozkriff · 2022-05-31T10:38:42Z

@h3r2tic @gavlig sure, removed from the current plan!

@HangingClowns you're invited to contribute a section about https://rustacean-station.org/episode/066-eric-smith podcast episode if you want. If no one volunteers to write about it, it'll be mentioned only as a one-liner in the "Other news" section (example).

ozkriff · 2022-05-31T10:42:30Z

⏰ Reminder that the soft deadline for contributor PRs is today as we're aiming to get the newsletter released in a couple of days.

The deadline for all section PRs is 2022.05.31. We may still accept PRs that are submitted later than this, as long as they're ready before the newsletter's release, but this isn't guaranteed. If you want your section to be included, don't leave it till the last minute!

AngelOnFira · 2022-06-02T13:40:29Z

Taking "Comparing a Voxel Game in F# and Rust"

cdsupina · 2022-06-03T14:20:34Z

I just got back from vacation, I wanted to leave an update on the status of the rustconf arcade cabinet. Since it ended up in the announcements section for n33 I was going to place it there.

Nazariglez · 2022-06-04T13:14:18Z

Just added Notan, thanks!

64kramsystem · 2022-06-07T22:11:10Z

Hi there!

I have two entries I'd like to add:

I've just today completed my project of porting several (small but complete) games to Rust, each using a different pure-Rust game engine, for educational purposes;
My work in progress tutorial about Bevy's ECS.

Should I add them, or wait for the next month (or Godot? 😁)

AngelOnFira · 2022-06-08T01:48:01Z

@64kramsystem feel free to add the sections (if you can do them quickly), it's normally ok until we get to the final review phase :)

ozkriff · 2022-06-08T17:06:15Z

Final PR - #1060 - everyone is invited to review! Merging in few hours if there're no objections.

ozkriff · 2022-06-08T19:48:08Z

It's out! Huge thanks to all editors, contributors, and reviewers!
