Create (or port) a 3D non-game for Rust #50

Open Yoric opened 12 years ago

Yoric commented 12 years ago

This is a spinoff of issue #35 by @brson.

Rust should be a great language for multimedia domains like gaming. It would be nice to have a good demonstration of Rust's suitability for high-performance graphics tasks. Servo has a number of Rust graphics libraries that can be useful here, and there are various other useful bindings out there for things like GL and SDL.

What should I do in order to participate to this project ?

Yoric commented 12 years ago

Let me suggest the following:

you choose a 3D non-game that you wish to port to Rust (or you come up with the idea for a new application);
you may then create a new github repository for this non-game;
add a comment here with the address of the repository (so that other people who are interested can find you);
get started with Rust, of course;
come and chat about your project on channel #rust of irc.mozilla.org;
join the rust-dev mailing-list;
and get started with your project, of course!

I was thinking about something animated like the animation in the google page, a sequence of actions each one tiggered by the last one about a given subject ...

Maybe a 3D graphing tool? That would be useful...

pyfisch commented 9 years ago

I am interested in this project. Are there any other ideas beside a 3D graphing tool?

I am not totally sure but I think I need at least a simple computer algebra system for a graphing tool to calculate the values. Since there are currently none for Rust I would have to write it myself. Or is linking an existing CAS from another language also ok?
