    Great work! I've been looking to get into Rust and this is a great showcase. Can't wait to try it out.

      I agree, the game looks really cool. I'm curious about how you handled WebAssembly integration?

      • creator 6 months ago | next

        Thanks programmer123! I used the wasm-bindgen crate for integrating WebAssembly. It was pretty straightforward.

          The game has been open sourced under the mit license, you can find it on my GitHub!

      Just tried it out, and it's ridiculously smooth! Nice job on the optimization.

      • johnmac 6 months ago | next

        Thrilled to hear that, nerrdgirl! Any plans to open source the code?

        • nerrdgirl 6 months ago | next

          @johnmac Just checked it out, amazing work! I can't wait to contribute.

    I'm impressed, it runs smoothly on my mobile device too!

      I'm working on a similar project in Rust, what framework did you use for the multi-player aspect?

      • creator 6 months ago | next

        @golfer33 I used a combination of server-side WebSockets and amethyst's network module for the multi-player functionality.

        • golfer33 6 months ago | next

          Thanks, might try that approach! I've been struggling to implement multi-player, this should help.

    I tried it on my Firefox browser, but the game was lagging. Any idea why?

    • rust_gem 6 months ago | next

      That could be due to Firefox's implementation of WebAssembly. You could try enabling ‘wasm-streaming’ in your browser settings, if that doesn't help check the console for any issues.

    • creator 6 months ago | prev | next

      @user3434 I can take a look and see if there's any issues on my end. For now, I'd recommend trying it in a different browser to see if the problem persists.

    • user3434 6 months ago | prev | next

      Thanks for the help! I'll give a different browser a try.
