my 3d cellular automata simulation written in rust with multi threading was sub-optimal. Using benchmarks with criterion and the help from my community, I learnt what the bottlenecks of this application are.
Today I share the journey I went through to optimize my multi-threading code!
Let's talk about the code... ;)

#rust #multithreading #review

Rust multi-threading code review

Graphics programming is so cool!
I managed to make a water shader, load 3d models, create a beautiful transition shader in just 7 days using OpenGL and the Rust programming language.

I used this OpenGL wrapper called glium:
https://github.com/glium/glium

I also utilized a game framework called macroquad:
https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad

Water & Transition shader is open source on by github page! (wip)

I tried learning OpenGL in 7 days - using Rust

I remade my voxel game 3 times. Unity, Rust, Bevy.

☝️😀

I went from Unity, to pure Rust (no game engine), to then moving all my code into bevy (a Rust game engine).
The latest move, was promted due to having some project architecture challanges, that I felt could be solved easily with Bevy. Their entity component system is also one of the front runner in innovation I think, which is very exciting to work with.

Resources (The tech I'm using)!
Bevy game engine: https://bevyengine.org/

for gui stuff: https://github.com/jakobhellermann/bevy-inspector-egui
^ I made my own inspector so I can use midi controller. (but egui is the ui library)

other rust libraries, that I recommend:
Graphics rendering api: https://wgpu.rs/

multithreading: https://github.com/zesterer/lagoon
benchmarking: https://github.com/bheisler/criterion.rs
profiling: https://crates.io/crates/profiling, using Optick feature

My other game framework of choice: https://github.com/not-fl3/macroquad

I remade my voxel game 3 times, this is why

Graphics programming is freaking hard! Voxel engine, water/wind shaders, landscape height map generation, scene transitions, are just a few of the things I've made with it so far. If you want to build a car, it might help to reinvent the wheel sometimes to fully understand it on a deeper level.
All projects I've highlighted in this video was written with Rust + various libraries!
The water + landscape + wind project I made specifically for this video using Rust and wgpu.

It's hard to quantify but rest assured, I've spent more than 100 hours trying to learn this skill.

100 Hours Of Graphics Programming

A game jam where instead of a random theme, a mystery art pack has to be used to create a game within 72 hours or 3 days.

I'm joined by 4 amazing developers in this episode and we all had a blast trying to fit this art pack into a game.

[About]
Hey! I’m an indie game developer, that loves testing out different game engines and languages.
I usually tackle some shorter projects in form of devlogs. Sometimes when I feel extra juicy, I upload the source code of the projects I’m showcasing! I try to upload weekly, hope you guys enjoy!

5 Game Developers VS One Art Pack (feat Yannick, Poly Mars, Barji, Khud0)

I added Rust support for the Unity game engine.
Is it really possible? YES it is!
I managed to make a game 100% coded in Rust, but using Unity as editor and runtime.
This has to be one of my craziest projects yet!

I utilized a library called Bevy game framework/engine, to handle the gameplay programming. Utilizing Bevy systems I was able to hide the Foreign Function interfacing code from the gameplay code.

Have a nice day :)

Rust and Unity game development

I'm making a voxel game with the rust programming language and a game engine called bevy.
Hot reloadable rust code, ambient occlusion, physics, block texturing, dynamic camera, game design: damage formula for spells,
are among the things I've implemented the last 3 months.
The project is alive!

Voxel Game Development Is Hard

I released my input binding software Enchanted Gamepad.
It's designed with the purpose to play League of Legends with it.

Hope you enjoy the video!
