We've explored the Bevy game engine and its Entity Component System architecture. Now let's put those concepts to work and see how they become a playable game!
Join us for the final session of our three-part Rust and Bevy game development series. Dominik Stefancik will walk through practical Rust code showing how a game is assembled, how its objects interact, and how Bevy manages the game as it runs.
Using examples from his own Bevy projects, we'll explore the building blocks of a working game.
What we'll cover
Creating a Bevy application: Setting up an application and using Bevy's default plugins.Loading game assets: Bringing images and other resources into a game during startup.Creating a player: Spawning entities and attaching components to describe a game character.Responding to keyboard input: Using queries and systems to move entities and update their components.Animation and the update loop: How systems run as the game progresses.Changing the game world: Adding, removing, and modifying components, and despawning entities.Organizing larger games: An introduction to plugins, game states, and conditionally running systems.
We'll finish by looking at how these pieces fit together in a complete working game.
One of the most interesting aspects of learning a new framework is seeing how its individual concepts work together in a real application.
If you're interested in seeing Rust used for something visual and interactive, this should be a fun session!
