I'm put off by the limited docs. I've read the Bevy book, only takes a few minutes, and just like that I'm out of resources to turn to when I get stuck.
When will the docs improve? I look at the release notes and ideally every one of those features would have several pages of docs. I understand that's a lot of work, and maybe things will have to stabilize before we get full docs?
- CooCooCaCha 3y agoThe examples in the github repo are fantastic and cover a lot of ground. That's usually my goto when trying to figure things out.
- przmk 3y agoThere's an unofficial complement to the docs that covers a lot of different topics here: https://bevy-cheatbook.github.io/introduction.html https://bevy-cheatbook.github.io/introduction.html

- capableweb 3y agoI mean, Bevy 0.12 was released... Yesterday. Most pages are for version 0.11 or 0.12 already, and not much changed between the two versions besides the assets, if you already have a game written in 0.11. Together with the release notes, you'll survive :)
- eximius 3y agoThe cheat book is written for some smeared set of versions since it's inception. It is out of date for 0.11 as well. The effort to keep it up to date is somewhat low since Bevy changes so much an so often in its current development.
- _cart 3y agoAmong Bevy contributors (including myself) there is a general hesitance to invest too much time in official learning material that will be obsolete by the next release. Bevy's APIs are beginning to stabilize ... and the appetite (both from users and from Bevy devs) for official material is increasing. The time is coming (soon)! While you wait, there are a sizeable number of tutorials on YouTube, and we have learning material linked in https://bevyengine.org/assets/#learning https://bevyengine.org/assets/#learning as well.
- oh_sigh 3y agoNit: developers who use bevy should be called bevy devys.
- IceSentry 3y agoBevy does have plenty of documentation here: https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/ https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/ What's missing is tutorial type documentation, but individual features are generally documented.
