Getting Started with Game Development in Rust and Bevy

Ever wanted to create a video game using Rust? Join us for the first of three meetups exploring game development with Bevy, an open-source game engine built in Rust.

In this introductory session, Dominik Stefancik will show us how to get started with Bevy, explain what makes its architecture interesting, and demonstrate games he has developed using Rust.

We'll explore:

• What is Bevy? An introduction to the engine and what makes it different from traditional game development frameworks.
• How Bevy works: An overview of its architecture and how Rust fits into game development.
• Real games written in Rust: Explore working examples, including Sonic Runner and Arkanoid-style games.
• Getting started yourself: How to clone, build, and run games from Dominik's GitHub repository.
• Comparing game development approaches: A look at how Bevy compares with other frameworks Dominik has used.

Game development provides a fun way to explore Rust beyond command-line tools and backend services. You'll see Rust being used for graphics, animation, user input, and real-time interactive applications.

Whether you're curious about game development, interested in learning a new Rust framework, or simply want to see some interesting Rust code, this session is for you!
