# Newsletter 31: February 2022 ###### tags: `newsletter` **Editors**: @AngelOnFira, @17cupsofcoffee, and @ozkriff Another month has gone by, so it's time to put together the Rust Gamedev newsletter with February news! If you want to help writing the newsletter: - Read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md). - Grab some of the "🆓 **free**" sections by leaving a comment like "I'd like to work on {section\_name\_1} and {section\_name\_2}". - The links in brackets (like "1, 2, 3") are suggestions of links to include in the section. Feel free to add more! - Mentions in brackets (like "🆓 **free** (@ozkriff?)") are just a suggestion of who could pick the work up - it's not an obligation, and other people are welcome to take those sections. - Extra sections not listed in the plan are welcomed - just leave a comment and open a PR! - Write a short overview: - Use provided links as a starting point. - Try to maintain a consistent style with the rest of the newsletter and run markdownlint (lint errors will fail the CI build). - Insert line breaks ([softbreak](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#soft-line-breaks)) at 80 chars, please. - Leave a comment or DM me on Discord if you have any issues. - Send a PR *to the `source` branch* (example: #336) - Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together. ------ As with the last few newsletters, we're trying to delegate the writing workload where we can - to quote @AngelOnFira from a few months ago: > We're also going to be transitioning to having authors or volunteers write about their own content, rather than the editing team doing it all at the end 💯 This means if you want to see your work in the newsletter, you have to write it yourself! If you're not able to write about your work, feel free to comment and I can assign it 🆓 free. We're working on taking some of the load off the editing team where we can with this. Best to keep this sustainable! > > Also, we want to make sure contributing to the newsletter feels open to anyone who wants to write a section about their project. If you have anything you can write about, just add a comment to this issue and I'll add it to the todo list 😄 ------ ## Current Schedule The soft deadline for all section PRs is the **6th of Mar**. PRs will usually be accepted as long as they are ready before the newsletter's release, but the earlier the better :) ------ ⚠️ The most important formatting/style rules from [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md): - Only one image (<300kb) or GIF (<2.5mb) before the text, with an optional caption and mandatory alt text for accessibility. - All the rendered text should be under 1000 characters (including spaces and punctuation) and under 6 paragraphs (without any subsections, etc). - No bold/italic/etc formatting - only links and one plain list without nesting per section (multiple lists are allowed if your project consists of multiple parts that aren't independent enough for their own sections). - Third-person perspective. - 80 characters per line and no other markdownlint warnings on CI. Please use these templates as a starting point: **Games/apps/libraries:** ```md ### [Game name] ![alt text](img) _optional image label_ [Game name] ([GitHub], [Discord], [Twitter]) by [@nickname] is... {short project description in one sentence}. {An overview of the recent updates with links to more details}. _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twitter](link), [etc](link)_ [Game name]: http://example.com ``` **Articles/blog posts/videos/etc:** ```md ### [Article name] ![alt text](img) _optional image label_ [@nickname] published an [article] about... {overview what the resource is about}. _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twiter](link), [etc](link)_ [Article name]: http://example.com ``` ## Current Structure & Status Below is a list of our current planned structure for the newsletter, and the status of each PR (which we'll try to keep updated).

anything new this month tho? To all the Rust gamers in this thread, I managed to find an online encyclopedia about Rust. It contains all the information that you require to finish all the missions. Seriously though, all the info even about the smallest random object is written on that website. I'm happy that I found this site because there're no way I could have finish the missions without the knowledge that this site provides me with, lol If you're having trouble understanding missions and skins in rust, then this encyclopedia is for you

March isn't over yet

We usually post the co-ordination issue on the last day of the month, and then release the newsletter a week after that.

If you want your section to be included, don't leave it till the last minute! ## How to Contribute If you want to help writing the newsletter: - **Read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md).** - Choose one or more of the "🆓 **free**" sections listed below, and leave a comment letting us know you want to work on them. - The links in brackets (like "[1](#), [2](#), [3](#)") are suggestions of links to include in the section. Feel free to add more! - The username listed next to the section (like "@ozkriff?") is a suggestion of who may want to pick up the work (usually the project's developer, or someone who has expressed interest in the past). - You are not obligated to write a section if you're tagged or your project is listed! You're welcome to ask someone else to write the section, or to ask for your project to be excluded from this month's post. - Extra sections not listed in the plan are welcomed - just leave a comment and open a PR! - Write a short overview in the newsletter's Markdown file, making sure to follow the style guidelines (see below). - Send a PR *to the `source` branch* (example: #336). - Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together. ## Style Guidelines The full style guide is in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md), but here are the most important rules: - Write in third-person perspective. - Each line must be 80 characters or less, for ease of reviewing/diffing. - Only one image per section is allowed. - The maximum size is 300kb for static images and 2.5mb for GIFs. - The image should come before the text, and must have alt text for accessibility. - Prefer static images to GIFs, to keep the page load times down. - Each section should be under 1000 characters, and under 6 paragraphs. - This only applies to the rendered text, not the markup. - Keep formatting minimal - no bold/italics/etc. - Avoid long/nested bullet point lists - no changelogs!

It's quite late (new record!) but still brings a lot of updates - 23 games, 4 engines, 9 learning resources, 11 tools, and 9 libraries - from various corners of our ecosystem that you may have missed! Also, on the positive side, our release timings will hopefully improve in the future since we've just got a new editor.

Please use these templates as a starting point: **Games/apps/libraries:** ```md ### [Game name] ![alt text](img) _optional image label_ [Game name] ([GitHub], [Discord], [Twitter]) by [@nickname] is... {short project description in one sentence}. {An overview of the recent updates with links to more details}. _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twitter](link), [etc](link)_ [Game name]: http://example.com ``` **Articles/blog posts/videos/etc:** ```md ### [Article name] ![alt text](img) _optional image label_ [@nickname] published an [article] about... {overview what the resource is about}. _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twiter](link), [etc](link)_ [Article name]: http://example.com ``` ## Current Structure & Status Below is our current planned structure for the newsletter, and the status of each PR (which we'll try to keep updated).

# Newsletter 46: May 2023 ###### tags: `newsletter` **Editors:** @ozkriff, @AngelOnFira, @scirin Another month has gone by, so it's time to put together the Rust Gamedev newsletter with May's news! ## Current Schedule **The deadline for all section PRs is 2023.06.10.** _(though statistically we sadly release significantly later then planned)_ We *may* still accept PRs that are submitted later than this, as long as they're ready before the newsletter's release, but this isn't guaranteed. If you want your section to be included, don't leave it till the last minute! ## How to Contribute If you want to help writing the newsletter: - **Read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md).** - Choose one or more of the "🆓 **free**" sections listed below, and leave a comment letting us know you want to work on them. - The links in brackets (like "[1](#), [2](#), [3](#)") are suggestions of links to include in the section. Feel free to add more! - The username listed next to the section (like "@ozkriff?") is a suggestion of who may want to pick up the work (usually the project's developer, or someone who has expressed interest in the past). - You are not obligated to write a section if you're tagged or your project is listed! You're welcome to ask someone else to write the section, or to ask for your project to be excluded from this month's post. - Extra sections not listed in the plan are welcomed - just leave a comment and open a PR! - Write a short overview in the newsletter's Markdown file, making sure to follow the style guidelines (see below). - Send a PR *to the `source` branch* (example: #336). - Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together. ## Style Guidelines The full style guide is in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md), but here are the most important rules: - Write in third-person perspective. - Each line must be 80 characters or less, for ease of reviewing/diffing. - Only one image per section is allowed. - The maximum size is 300kb for static images and 2.5mb for GIFs. - The image should come before the text, and must have alt text for accessibility. - Prefer static images to GIFs, to keep the page load times down. - Each section should be under 1000 characters, and under 6 paragraphs. - This only applies to the rendered text, not the markup. - Keep formatting minimal - no bold/italics/etc. - Avoid long/nested bullet point lists - no changelogs!

# Newsletter 48: July 2023 ###### tags: `newsletter` **Editors:** @ozkriff, @AngelOnFira, @scirin Another month has gone by, so it's time to put together the Rust Gamedev newsletter with July's news! ## Current Schedule **The deadline for all section PRs is 2023.08.23.** _(though this year we statistically release significantly later, sad)_ We *may* still accept PRs that are submitted later than this, as long as they're ready before the newsletter's release, but this isn't guaranteed. If you want your section to be included, don't leave it till the last minute! ## How to Contribute If you want to help writing the newsletter: - **Read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md).** - Choose one or more of the "🆓 **free**" sections listed below, and leave a comment letting us know you want to work on them. - The links in brackets (like "[1](#), [2](#), [3](#)") are suggestions of links to include in the section. Feel free to add more! - The username listed next to the section (like "@ozkriff?") is a suggestion of who may want to pick up the work (usually the project's developer, or someone who has expressed interest in the past). - You are not obligated to write a section if you're tagged or your project is listed! You're welcome to ask someone else to write the section, or to ask for your project to be excluded from this month's post. - Extra sections not listed in the plan are welcomed - just leave a comment and open a PR! - Write a short overview in the newsletter's Markdown file, making sure to follow the style guidelines (see below). - Send a PR *to the `source` branch* (example: #336). - Mention this issue in your PR's description to link it all together. ## Style Guidelines The full style guide is in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/blob/source/CONTRIBUTING.md), but here are the most important rules: - Write in third-person perspective. - Each line must be 80 characters or less, for ease of reviewing/diffing. - Only one image per section is allowed. - The maximum size is 300kb for static images and 2.5mb for GIFs. - The image should come before the text, and must have alt text for accessibility. - Prefer static images to GIFs, to keep the page load times down. - Each section should be under 1000 characters, and under 6 paragraphs. - This only applies to the rendered text, not the markup. - Keep formatting minimal - no bold/italics/etc. - Avoid long/nested bullet point lists - no changelogs! Please use these templates as a starting point: **Games/apps/libraries:** ```md ### [Game name] ![alt text](img) _optional image label_ [Game name] ([GitHub], [Discord], [Twitter]) by [@nickname] is... {short project description in one sentence}. {An overview of the recent updates with links to more details}. _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twitter](link), [etc](link)_ [Game name]: http://example.com ``` **Articles/blog posts/videos/etc:** ```md ### [Article name] ![alt text](img) _optional image label_ [@nickname] published an [article] about... {overview what the resource is about}. _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twiter](link), [etc](link)_ [Article name]: http://example.com ``` ## Current Structure & Status Below is our current planned structure for the newsletter, and the status of each PR (which we'll try to keep updated). This is **not** an exhaustive list - if you have your own project that you want to write about, just make a comment on this issue and open a PR!  #### Announcements - [x] Rust GameDev Meetup - 🚧 WIP by @AngelOnFira #### Game Updates -
