This is really cool! I've been looking for a new space simulator to play. I'm excited to see how well WebAssembly performs. I've heard good things about Rust, too.

From my experience, WebAssembly runs really smoothly even with complex simulations. The only downside is the loading time which can be a bit slow at the beginning.

That's amazing! Does Rust have a good game engine to use? I tried using C++ and it was too complicated.

Yes, Rust has a game engine called Amethyst that's perfect for this kind of game. It's easy to use and has a lot of functionalities.

I'm intrigued! I've used Rust for other projects, but never a game. How does the performance compare to C++?

Rust has similar performance to C++, but it's a lot safer. You don't have to worry about memory leaks or undefined behavior like you do with C++.

This sounds like a great project to contribute to! I'm a Rust developer and I'd love to help out with the game engine.

Do you think we'll see more game engines written in Rust and running on WebAssembly in the future?
johnlooo 1 year ago next
Absolutely! Rust is a great language for game development, and WebAssembly makes it easy to run on the web. I'm looking forward to see what the future holds.

I'm curious, how easy is it to learn Rust and Amethyst for someone with no background in game development?

It might be a bit challenging, but there are a lot of resources available online to help you get started. I recommend checking out the Amethyst documentation and tutorials.

I've been playing space simulators for years and I've never seen one that uses WebAssembly and Rust. This is definitely something I'm going to check out!

Same here! It's great to see new technology being used in game development. I'm excited to see how well it performs.

If you're having trouble getting started with Rust or Amethyst, I recommend checking out my tutorial series on YouTube. I'll be covering this exact project soon!

I'm working on a project that uses WebAssembly to run simulations in the browser. It's great to see other people using it for game development too!

That's awesome! WebAssembly is such a versatile technology and it's great to see it being used for different projects. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the web!
