Rust Game Development — Building Games with Bevy Engine and ggez

DodaTech Updated 2026-06-28 1 min read

In this tutorial, you will learn about Rust Game Development. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you master this topic.

Rust game development uses Bevy for data-driven ECS game engine, ggez for 2D graphics, and bracket-lib for roguelike development.

What You'll Learn

Bevy ECS basics
Sprites and animations
Input handling
Physics

Why It Matters

Rust games are fast and safe. DodaZIP uses Bevy for visualization tools.

Real-World Use

Game development, interactive visualization, simulation tools.

[dependencies]
bevy = "0.13"

use bevy::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        .add_systems(Startup, setup)
        .add_systems(Update, move_player)
        .run();
}

#[derive(Component)]
struct Player {
    speed: f32,
}

fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
    commands.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());

    commands.spawn((
        SpriteBundle {
            sprite: Sprite {
                color: Color::rgb(0.3, 0.5, 0.8),
                custom_size: Some(Vec2::new(50.0, 50.0)),
                ..default()
            },
            transform: Transform::from_xyz(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
            ..default()
        },
        Player { speed: 200.0 },
    ));
}

fn move_player(
    time: Res<Time>,
    keyboard: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>,
    mut query: Query<(&mut Transform, &Player)>,
) {
    for (mut transform, player) in query.iter_mut() {
        let mut direction = Vec3::ZERO;
        if keyboard.pressed(KeyCode::ArrowLeft)  { direction.x -= 1.0; }
        if keyboard.pressed(KeyCode::ArrowRight) { direction.x += 1.0; }
        if keyboard.pressed(KeyCode::ArrowUp)    { direction.y += 1.0; }
        if keyboard.pressed(KeyCode::ArrowDown)  { direction.y -= 1.0; }

        if direction != Vec3::ZERO {
            direction = direction.normalize();
            transform.translation += direction * player.speed * time.delta_seconds();
        }
    }
}
