Invitation draft

Title: Game development in Rust

Dear Rustaceans,

our next Meetup will be on **Wednesday 2024-01-10, 19:15 CET**.

This time we'll talk about game development in Rust. We'll address questions like: What are Rust's strengths and weaknesses when it comes to writing a game or an engine? What parts can be used off-the-shelf and what parts are still in the works? Which platforms are supported, which are missing? Are there any notable games written in Rust, yet?

Kai will show a little 3D-demo written in Rust + wgpu which runs natively on the system and in the browser.

Did you try to create a game or an engine on your own? Let us know how it turned out!

You can enjoy some drinks, meet nice people and discuss about Rust.

**[You can register here](...)**.

We are looking forward to seeing you. :-)

Yours,
Florian and Kai

Tentative idea for the meetup was Rust game engines.

I'll try to get us the 2nd Wednesday (January 10th) again, assuming that people would not want to attend a meetup even closer to new year. Does that work for you @kawogi?

kawogi commented 10 months ago

Jan 10th sounds good. I think I can come up with some content for "rust-gaming".

@Florob Are we ready to send an invitation?

I think so. The 10th is cleared. I suppose you have the details on what exactly "rust-gaming" means.

kawogi commented 10 months ago

For some definition of "exactly" :) I'll prepare something.

kawogi commented 10 months ago

@Florob Do you remember who offered to talk about "Bevy" at the last meetup? Hope the announcement is ok. I kept it a little vague because the precise topics will be very likely determined by the participants.

I think @grouvie offered to talk about Bevy, but I might be misremembering.

The announcement looks good to me. I'll add it to Meetup and the website.

kawogi commented 10 months ago

Given that we're already overbooked, the expectations in this meetup might exceed my preparations XD I'll ask on meetup if there are special interests or offers for a talk.

grouvie commented 10 months ago

I completely forgot about Meetup. :sweat_smile: I would be happy to give an introduction to Bevy and show some of the stuff I played around with. :)

kawogi commented 10 months ago

@grouvie Very appreciated!

grouvie commented 10 months ago

I have found out why exactly the Without was necessary in the one Query. It's a typical Rust explanation. :D

That totally makes sense in hindsight! Thanks for looking it up.
