Woody is my personal side project, a labor of love crafted entirely in pure Rust and powered by Vulkan. It's a creative endeavor born out of passion, rather than an alternative to other well known engines. With Woody, I explore the realms of game development, experimenting and tinkering with Rust and Vulkan to create my own gaming experiences. It's a journey of discovery and self-expression, and I'm excited to share my progress and learnings with you.
Woody is a personal side project born out of a passion for game development and a love for Rust and Vulkan. It's not an ambitious endeavor aiming to be the next big thing; instead, it's a creative outlet where I explore the realms of game development on my terms.
- Vulkan rendering.
- Entity Component System (ECS) architecture.
- Cross-platform support (not yet).
This section will guide you through the initial steps to set up and explore this game engine.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:
- Rust - The programming language used for Woody.
- Cargo - The Rust package manager.
- Vulkan - The graphics API used by Woody.
To get started, follow these simple steps:
- Clone the Woody repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/woody.git- Navigate to the woody repository:
cd woody- Build the project.
cargo build --release
``
### Running the example
To ensure that everything is set up correctly, let's run a simple example:
```bash
cargo run --releaseThis will launch a simple demo application using Woody. You should see a window pop up with some basic graphics rendered.
You can use this game engine in your own game if you want, just add it as dependency and you're ready to go.
For more detailed information on using Woody, refer to our documentation (coming soon, but you can use cargo doc --no-deps --open). It will provide insights into the engine's architecture, how to create scenes, work with assets, and much more.
