Create Rust games easily
summary
Concrete step-by-step ggez (currently 0.3) walkthrough building a small game Beyonce brawls from cargo boilerplate to a running demo, with code shown: structs for player and smashables, PNG sprites, sound playback, a spacebar hold-to-charge mechanic, hitbox collision checks, spawn randomness and draw/update loops. Notes include a walkthrough branch on GitHub, resource path gotchas, and the frame-count timing caveat (holding uses update ticks not real time). The demo runs live.
