+[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, (ranger), which fires seeking missiles.
+- New support ship type, (tech), which repairs friendly ships.
+- Toggleable hitbox visualization.
+- Still far too many particles.
