I recently received a Steam Deck and I love it!

I also planning to use it for development. On my PC I get used to Fish shell and usually use it instead of Bash. I can install it on Steam Deck and set it to the default shell, but after a system update it will be wiped. I can create a script and run it after each update, will I be able to login if my user points to /usr/bin/fish that doesn't exist in the system?..

It's a crate for server-authoritative networking.

In this release, we have completely reworked the events. We now use an optimization similar to what Bevy does for processing event updates.

The public API for events has not changed, except that custom systems have been replaced with simple serialization and deserialization functions. It’s faster and more convenient.

In addition, all network event registration functions can be used on regular events, automatically making them network events.

Implemented a special component that allows the sides of objects to snap to others with the same component.

Bevy's gizmo was very helpful in visualizing the math.

It's a crate for server-authoritative networking.

We worked closely with the author of bevy_bundlication on this release to provide better abstractions for third party plugins on top of replicon. Here are some highlights:

Previously, users registered a component for replication and it was replicated if its entity was marked for replication. But this approach is quite limited. Now users can define replication rules similar to queries:

app.replicate_group::<(Transform, Player)>() // `Transform` and `Player` components will be replicated only if both present on an entity.

And it's possible to specialize ser/de for such groups. For example, replicate Transform in one way for players and in another way for static objects. Groups with more components take priority by default (but it's configurable). So it's also possible to have app.replicate::<Transform>(), but if Player component is present, (Transform, Player) will take precedence. In the next release we planning to support With and Without to let define something like this: app.replicate_group::<(A, B), Without<C>>().

Also check out 📦bevy_bundlication which is now an abstraction over replicon that provides a bundle-like API for defining replication groups.

Custom replication functions was also heavily reworked:

• Public API no longer requires any unsafe.
• Deserialization and writing now defined separately. This allows rollback crates to define their logic without touching user-defined ser/de functions.
• Writing now based on markers for more flexibility.
• Users can customize deserialization in-place.

The author of bevy_bundlication also developing input queue and rollback plugins, but they require an API for disabling entities from Bevy. If you are interested in this or have other suggestions how to achieve it, feel free to comment on this issue.

Working on a life simulator game with a working title Project Harmonia. Just added vintage counter that my wife made to the game. I think it looks quite nice in Bevy.

The same model in Blender: https://toot.garden/@YaraGardaria/112322312099954470

We've long wanted a Bevy playground, just like the official Rust one, where you can type in code in the browser and quickly mess around with Bevy. Now, thanks to Liam, you can experience this for yourself!

The author is looking for feedback here.

Bevy can run on Android phones. But what about GNU/Linux phones?
I decided to find out using my PinePhone Pro with RK3399.

Managed to run my game using WGPU_SETTINGS_PRIO=webgl2. But couldn't get past the main menu due to limited features of the GPU. 😢

But simple 2D games like breakout example runs!

Right now I working on networking for the game, but this evening I decided to tinker with my device a little.
