Hi! I'm back from RustNL! Taking it light today (definitely still exhausted) but I'm feeling ready for another #bevymergetrain. Let's take a look at the #opensource #rustlang PRs that our community has made and reviewed for us this week :) There was a request to check the website repo, so let's start there! 9 PRs are ready, so that's a great call: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3AS-Ready-For-Final-Review

I just started my first day as a professional #opensource #rustlang #gamedev (well, engine dev) for @bevy.

Super exciting to have the bandwidth to start putting my plans into motion. I decided that I want to do a daily status update in engine-dev, and let folks track my current areas of focus using a GitHub project board.

Today was focused on laying out my priorities and tasks, then diving straight into the thorniest project management challenges we have (see below).

As I sip my evening tea, it's time for another #bevymergetrain :) It looks like the other maintainers have done a good job staying on top of the #opensource #rustlang #gamedev PRs this week: only 4 in the backlog of community-approved-but-not-merged right now. https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3AS-Ready-For-Final-Review+-label%3AS-Controversial+-label%3AS-Blocked+-label%3AS-Adopt-Me+

Let's go through the list, explain why they're neat, and I'll share my reasoning for why they should (or shouldn't) be merged today :)

Does anyone have any thoughts about adding unit testing to games made in #bevy? I want to be able to unit test specific plugins in a deterministic way across multiple cycles of the game loop, across multiple frames. I'm worried that each test run could experience varying amounts of delay between frames, causing a butterfly effect.

My first thought is to create a GameWorld struct that has a "get_components_to_spawn" and a "get_components_to_despawn" function. My app would then be reduced down to a simple system that runs in the Update schedule which checks both functions for components and acts accordingly.
I'd like to have separate plugins that affect the state of components on bevy's side, but that makes it untestable. Instead I think I want the plugins to change the state of the components in my GameWorld and then maybe have a third function for "get_components_to_update".

I would appreciate any and all ideas. Thanks.

Winit's overhauled keyboard events had me stumped at first but I've realized they are actually really nice.

Previously logical keys had an enum describing every possible key while physical keys/scancodes were just a u32.
I usually use winit for game dev, and a nice enum sounds way better than a mysterious u32, so long ago I settled on logical keys and never thought about it again.

Doing a bit of teaching—computing, naturally—and the group size is small so we can really indulge tangents and curiosities.

We talked through a bit of simple JS that added a new div to a page, each time you clicked a button

I was trying to impress the point of computing’s power: the ability to store work and do it infinitely

Someone asked: could it be more than one box per click?

Thinking about experience/advice in #gamedev for whatever reason, and realizing that:

being energetically (but not asshole'y) wrong has been fantastic for my career/education

You need to be wrong in a kind, well-meaning, more than willing to backtrack, kind of way. Not jerk-wrong, you give ground instantly. But. Being shown how I am wrong almost always encodes a stronger memory than just getting something right the first time, and I end up learning more about the system and whatever surrounds it in the process, because the way in which I'm wrong will necessarily exist in a context.

This generalizes to "try things and embrace failure", but I think a lot of folks miss or intentionally avoid the fact that to engage with that thinking means: being wrong, frequently, in public, in full view of your peers. Your face will have enough egg to be an omelette. But if everybody's smiling? Good natured wrongness? It's fine!

EDIT: this advice does NOT generalize, tho, that's how we get "can I ask an offensive question"
