in my evenening I've started working on yet another side project: a rust wgpu game engine for a nostr metaverse game. I really like animal cross new horizon assets, so I found a dump of them online and using them in my prototype to test my physics based rendering. not sure if I'll ever finish this, but its been fun to hack on a game engine again

Do we need “gaming” relays?

↩ replying to josh

would make sense to have a relay for this yeah

average_bitcoiner 🛡️ yesterday

just go use Bevy.

I don't need ECS and I can't embed it as a render pass. so i can't use it

time to go learn what "a render pass" is. I would think ECS fits nicely with nostr since both are data driven.

rust ecs just tends to be is just SoA + dependency injection. if you need spatial acceleration data structures you can't use it so now you have data in two places. i just prefer writing programs like normal and use SoA + simple component system

Fair but there are a few plugin crates for spatial acceleration and then you don't have to write scheduling, queries, etc. But you do seem to like that S Tier hand crafted write all the code approach. Love it, but i r not smart/experienced enough for that. I always learn something new poking your comments about gamedev. 🤝

i have created like 6 game engines it's not that much work. it's nicer when you are not fighting some other persons preferred way of building a program

and I need this to be wgpu renderpass middleware so I can use it within notedeck

there's also a reason there is not a single production-quality game in bevy. noones wants to build a game in that format. i looked at some and the code was horrible and inflexible.

excited for this.

the Dave avatar is actually a small example of this. it's a mini game engine that renders hundreds of small cubes. works great. just need to flesh it out

When runescape?

3d asset declarations living in nostr, 3d printing and shipping as DVMs -- thinking out loud here.

thats what I'm thinking, minus dvms View quoted note →
