### [Pong tutorial with GGEZ][pong-tut-1]

[Mikail Khan][mkhan45] shared a three-part tutorial
about building a simple version of Pong using GGEZ:

> I saw a post on reddit asking for a simple game dev tutorial with Rust.
> Generally people encourage using ECS with any Rust game,
> so I guess there’s no tutorials for anything without it.
> However, for simple games like Pong or Flappy Bird,
> it really is easier to forgo the ECS.
>
> While Amethyst, the biggest Rust game engine,
> is completely built on ECS and you can’t make a game without it,
> there’s still plenty of small game engines that don’t make any assumptions.
> My favorite of these is ggez.

[The source code for all stages could be found here.][rust-wasm-3d-src]

![A diagram from the posts about backends](gfx-hal-tutorial.jpeg)

[Subroto Biswas][willofindie] started
a ["`gfx-hal` & `vulkan` basics" tutorial series][gfx-hal-tut].

> I have found that learning new things every often, leads to chaos,
> and people (specifically ME) tend to forget many things
> they have already learnt before.
> These notes will help me to keep reference notes for myself,
> as well as for anybody who is willing to learn Vulkan API using gfx-hal.

For now it includes two posts:

- ["Adapters & Physical/Logical Devices & Device Queues"][gfx-hal-tut-1]
- ["Setup & Display Blank Window"][gfx-hal-tut-2]
