+
+Temple Knight ([Itch.io][tk-itch], [Twitter][tk-twitter])
+by [@nilaysavant] is a 3D FPS game developed using [Bevy].
+You play the role of a knight and protect the temple from raiding automatons.
+
+What began as an experiment to learn game dev in Rust using [Bevy].
+Initially motivated by the visual appeal of a [scene running in the browser via WASM].
+It quickly started taking the shape of a game:
+
+- From adding [Rapier] for [basic physics] to developing mechanics for other entities.
+- Path finding for Automaton's using [control systems].
+- Which was later switched to a deterministic [A-start navmesh approach].
+- Developed mechanics for the player controller including the first-person-camera.
+- Implemented weapon + projectiles systems.
+- Finally [custom shaders for projectiles] were added as a finishing touch.
+
+An experiment that became the first game published by [@nilaysavant].
+Play [Temple Knight] in your browser.

+is a new drag and drop sorting crate for egui. While egui itself includes some drag

+
+The first release contains initial support for vertical sorting. If there

+
+![scene displaying generated colliders](brcg.png)
+
+[bevy_rapier_collider_gen][brcg-repo] by [@shnewto] is a library
+for generating bevy_rapier2d colliders for bevy apps, from images with
+transparency.
+
+Features include out of box support for generating:
+
+- Convex polyline colliders
+- Polyline colliders
+- Convex hull colliders
+- Heightfield colliders
+- Other colliders or geometries by getting edge coordinates in "drawing order"
+- Multiple colliders from a single image
+
+For more, in pictures, see the picture book retrospective
+["misadventures in collider generation"][brcg-retro].

+### [Mun v0.4.0][mun-release]
+
+[![Mun logo](mun-logo.svg)][Mun]
+
+[Mun] is a scripting language for gamedev focused on quick iteration times
+that is written in Rust.
+
+The previous Mun release dates back over one and a half years. Since then -
+slowly but steadily - the Mun Community and Core Team have been working towards
+Mun v0.4.0 and it’s finally here!
+
+Mun v0.4 does not only bring array support to Mun, but it also lays the
+groundwork for a plethora of language features that require indirect types and
+recursion. For a full list have a look at the [changelog][mun-changelog], but
+the main improvements are:
+
+- Dynamically-sized arrays
+- Simplified function invocations from Rust
+- Simplified struct API for Rust
+- Apple M1 & experimental iOS support
+- Upgrade to LLVM 13
+- Support for runtime usage in entity component systems (ECS)
