ggez-goodies
Useful modules for the ggez Rust game framework.
Each module is meant to be pretty much self-contained without relying on the others. Or if it does rely on others, it will be in a strictly incremental fashion.
Currently this is very incomplete but hopefully semi-useful. If nothing else it should be a good place to start for making your own versions of the same tasks.
Modules:
- Input indirection layer and state tracking
- Scene manager
- Camera
- Particle system (incomplete)
Modules to create
- Sprites with ordering, animation, atlasing, tile mapping, 3x3 sprites... (look at https://docs.rs/piston2d-sprite/0.28.0/sprite/index.html) (also look at XNA's sprite system, FNA's implementation of such, Godot, Cocos2D)
- GUI (conrod? imgui? ozkriff's ggez-zgui?)
- In-game debugger...?
Useful goodies made by other people
- specs for entity-component system (alternatives: ecs or recs or rustic-ecs crates)
- cgmath, nalgebra or vecmath for math operations
- physics/collision??? ncollide.
