I just released bevy_immediate! The first immediate mode UI library for Bevy!

Check it out: github.com/PPakalns/bev...

Write UI in Bevy using a simple, egui-inspired immediate mode API, while Bevy's ECS logic handles the heavy lifting. Compatible with Bevy UI!

I wrote about an idea that would make bevy UI a lot easier to use.

About combining existing bevy ui retained mode UI approach with immediate mode UI API. 🚀🚀🚀

Immediate mode UI code is a lot simpler and easier to prototype with!

hot take: talking about "the" bevy editor is a trap... we should focus on building composable, modular tools that deliver incremental value, just like everything else we do in @bevy.org www.charlotte.fyi/posts/toward...

"The" Bevy Editor should not exist

charlotte, for your information

Finally! After building an open-world, multiplayer settlement management game, I’ve added the most requested feature: saving your progress. ❤️

Nice looking visualization, does heat travel through walls, doors? How frequently heat values are updated.

Hi! I am developing Settletopia - Multiplayer Open-World Fantasy Colony Sim.

Please add me to the list :)

Thank you for creating this list.

Looks like web has support for running Wasm ( #rust code ) on multiple threads using rayon.

Has someone successfully set up multi threaded execution of Rust code compiled to #Wasm inside standalone runtime like #wasmtime.

I am looking for examples :)

Thank you :)

wasmtime and WIT. It was a lot simpler than I expected using WIT (wit-bindgen) with rust type serialization, deserialization. Two years ago I tried to do something similar, when WIT wasn't available, then it was a lot more difficult.

PPakalns @ppakalns.bsky.social · Mar 22

Modding support successfully added.

If you have all game configuration in one data structure, then WIT, wasmtime, serde serialization, deserialization works really well.

I will be able to support Steam workshop too :)

Added Modding Support to Settletopia 🎉

Mods are written in #rustlang, then compiled to #wasm. Mod hot reloading is supported!

Rust’s tooling makes mod development smooth - static type checking, docs, and wide range of available libraries.

Will share my mod library when it will be ready :)

In close future I am not planning to expose bevy concepts to mods yet.

Looking forward to bevy_mod_scripting maybe adding support to WASM/Rust github.com/makspll/bevy... .

Second layer: Custom functionality. This needs to be designed to be very performant. Will see how much logic I can expose to the mods.
But I will try to implement at least some content in game using these interfaces to test them.

First planned custom functionality is for procedural map generation.

PPakalns @ppakalns.bsky.social · Mar 16

First layer: Configurations of all in game content. For this I will fully use the same interface as mods use. I will allow players to freely change game configuration, sprites, etc.

PPakalns @ppakalns.bsky.social · Mar 16

Currently I am planning to use wasmtime with WIT. For complex types I will serialize, deserialize rust types. I will provide Rust library for mod developers.

I have planned two layers of modding support.

PPakalns @ppakalns.bsky.social · Mar 15

Taking some break. I will do something fun. I decided to try to add modding capability to my game. Will see how it goes. :)

Game developed in Rust with mods written in Rust (wasm)!?

Thank you, learned something new, didn't know that this is faster.

Can you show what do you mean by manual implementation that captures function pointers.

Is it Struct with fields that contains pointers to functions that can be called for relevant "Trait".

Would be interesting to check output in compilerexplorer.
