+
+![rymd animated combat v2](rymd_2020_12_02.gif)
+
+[rymd] by [@_profan] is a space shooter prototype made with [macroquad].
+
+Intended as a test platform for trying out rust for prototyping games and
+particularly for game AI programming purposes.
+
+Development started at the end of October, recent additions include:
+- Dynamic ship debris based on slicing source sprites into chunks.
+- New hostile ship type, the ranger, which fires seeking missiles
+(that can be shot down and deal explosion damage in a radius).
+- New support ship type, the tech, which accompanies ships and
+attempts to repair damaged friendlies.
+- Toggleable hitbox visualization.
+- Still far too many particles.
