Pong, Rust, and rowdy replies
Bevy game development tutorials and in-depth resources
Free Bevy guides drop: fans cheer, nitpick, and ask for a link
TLDR: Free, up-to-date Bevy guides (version 0.18) just dropped, delighting a community tired of outdated tutorials. Comments celebrate the freshness, tease the author’s Ruby-to-Rust leap, demand a link to the official site, and even spin off into C++ resources—proof these guides hit a nerve and fill a real gap.
A surprise hit just landed: a free set of Bevy game engine guides, written by a longtime Ruby developer who built the site with their own Ruby-based static generator. They’re pitching this as the “Rails-style” handbook for Bevy (an open-source game engine written in Rust), complete with a beginner-friendly Pong tutorial and a quick “TLDR” summary for pros—and it’s all updated for version 0.18. The crowd reaction? Loud and messy in the best way.
The biggest mood is relief. One top comment practically yelled, “This is huge,” after pointing out how many Bevy resources have gone stale—an old “cookbook” was even abandoned. The “fresh and maintained” angle is the star. The plot twist fueling the banter: the author hopping from Ruby to Rust. One user called it a “different beast,” and the thread immediately started swapping war stories about changing languages like moving apartments during a hurricane.
Then came the nitpicks: readers begged for a simple link to the official Bevy site—here you go, internet: bevyengine.org. A wholesome subplot also emerged: a reader emailed thanks and got a thoughtful reply asking what to improve. Meanwhile, someone derailed the party with a side-quest for C++ game dev links, and the crowd obligingly turned the thread into a mini resource dump. Bonus meme: “Pong is the new Hello World,” and honestly, they’re not wrong.
