RWIR - Re-Write In Rust

psi29a commented 10 months ago

Would anyone be interested in having this whole project re-written in Rust?

I'm itching to work on a project that allows me to flex a bit and learn new stuff.

I wanted to Re-Write In Rust WorldEngine so that:

runs in single binary (CLI) with library that is easily portable
exposes C API to so other programs can link in
make things super fast
have fun learning Rust
make new friends who also interested in Rust

As a stretch goal:

find out how to expose python bindings for Rust (if not possible, use the exposed C API) so that existing programs that use WorldEngine can continue to do so

Definetly would be interested in that

I am not a Rust guy but I would wish you the best for your efforts :D

Oh, I'd still provide python bindings... but considering the speed sacrifice we make with Python, perhaps we can create higher resolution maps as a result.
