- westmeal 7mo agoYou really don't want to know. The results could be disastrous.
- sebosch 7mo agohaha, guilty
- vunderba 7mo agoRust is the crossfit of programming languages. Everybody around you needs to know at all times. On a serious note, nice job OP. This game kind of feels like an ASCII version of Terraria. Might I recommend extended ASCII or unicode for the player though? Right now they look a bit like a lollipop.
- sudo_cowsay 7mo agoKind of hard to see the player's motion

- cjkaminski 7mo agoBased on the evidence presented by the Hacker News front page, the hype is boundless. Rust is the ur-language that we never realized until... idk, three years ago?
- zeroq 7mo agoIt's a PR ploy. It sounds better than X done in C, mainly because the X has been done countless times in C by now, while "Hello World, but in Rust" still felt sexy three years ago.
- xylophile 7mo agoIf somebody announces that their project is written in Rust but nobody complains, what happens? Writing any non-trivial video game with Rust is (arguably) interesting in itself since developer velocity in gamedev is generally considered paramount, and Rust has a reputation (rightly or wrongly) for hindering velocity. So yes, the fact that this is written in Rust is actually relevant and valuable. As opposed to your hollow snark. Now, OP: tell us more about how that's played out for you.
- zeroq 7mo agoOne does not simply write an app in Rust in silence. It is customary to announce the fact so that the astrologers can proclaim that the population of recruiters on linkedin has increased.
- frail_figure 7mo agoRust is fine, but so is C, Zig, Odin, Lua, etc. I dont think the parent comment was complaining, just pointing out the "written in rust" meme. Being the top comment, seems like plenty of people enjoyed it! It's the weekend, take it easy :)
