Love to see Rust being used for gaming. I'm thinking of re-writing my old game in Rust. What's your experience using Rust for this project?

@secretHacker I found Rust's safety, low-level capabilities, and performance to be perfect for game development. I highly recommend it!

Great job! I've always wanted to try building a game with Rust. Any resources or tips you recommend for getting started?

@johnChen, check out the Rust edition of our game development series https://t.co/yKy8e5fB7q. I found it very helpful when I started out

Nice! Those graphics are really impressive coming from Rust. How did you handle rendering?

@mikeWazowski I used Amethyst game engine, which made it very easy to handle rendering and other game logic

What was your biggest challenge while building the game with Rust?

@randomUser The biggest challenge for me was managing asynchronous tasks and their lifetimes, but the documentation was very helpful

Looks like a 2D game, any specific libraries you used for handling that?

@curiousGeorge Yes, I used ggez for 2D graphics and physics, it was very easy to use and well-documented

Ah, the good old days of 2D games! I'm glad that Rust can still make games like this. What's next?

@nostalgicGamer I'm planning on learning Vulkan and building a small 3D game in Rust next. Excited for the challenge!
