ggez-goodies

Useful modules for the ggez Rust game framework.

Each module is meant to be pretty much self-contained without relying on the others. Or if it does rely on others, it will be in a strictly incremental fashion.

CURRENTLY this is massively unstable and is basically changing fluidly as I discover what the API needs to be like.

Modules:

• Input indirection layer and state tracking
• Scene manager
• Camera
• Particle system (incomplete)

Modules to create

• Sprites with ordering, animation, atlasing, tile mapping, 3x3 sprites... (look at https://docs.rs/piston2d-sprite/0.28.0/sprite/index.html) (also look at XNA's sprite system, FNA's implementation of such, Godot, Cocos2D)
• GUI (conrod? imgui? ozkriff's ggez-zgui?)
• In-game debugger...?

Useful goodies made by other people

• specs for entity-component system (alternatives: ecs or recs or rustic-ecs crates)
• cgmath, nalgebra or vecmath for math operations
• physics/collision??? ncollide.
