⏳ Time for a break.. ..unless?
Overview
You can play online, while playing online1 🎮.
The desktop version can be downloaded on itch.io.
The web version is not yet published as it only runs on Chrome on Linux; on Windows it crashes while loading.
Open Source
Most of the last 6 weeks was spent on Web Assembly support in the Amethyst game engine – allowing the game to run in a browser. It is far from complete, but the current state demonstrates the potential of using Rust for native and web applications. Much thanks to @chemicstry for pushing through one of the difficult problems early on.
In the next two weeks, I will be writing a report on the effort towards supporting WASM as an application backend, and likely giving a (virtual) talk at the local Rust meetup.
⭐ Achievement Unlocked: First Contributor
On this side, Will had its first contribution! @Lighty0410 tidied up the code to comply with coding best practices.
For contributions, I spent some time on the contribution process, but haven’t yet spent time on making it easy to contribute. In detail, what exists:
- Issue tracker with high-level tasks.
- Automated security auditing, license auditing, and code quality checks.
- Automated building, testing, and publishing.
What is not present:
- Issues suitable for first time contributors.
- Contribution guidelines.
- Instant messaging platform for quick questions.
What’s Next
When writing the previous post I wasn’t sure how long more to press on. I’ve decided after this release it’s time to work among people again2, and build up some income.
While I haven’t yet pledged my time away, I’ll chip away at making contributing easier. At that point I’ll try and fit something in every now and again.
If you would like this project to continue, please consider:
- Writing code
- Creating content
- Becoming a Patron
- Becoming a Github sponsor
Peace ✌️
