[bevy_midi](https://github.com/BlackPhlox/bevy_midi) by
[@BlackPhlox](https://github.com/BlackPhlox) is a new bevy plugin that uses
[midir](https://github.com/Boddlnagg/midir) to
interact with the bevy game engine.

It started out with [bevy_osc](https://github.com/BlackPhlox/bevy_osc) as a
proof-of-concept interfacing with
[nannou_osc](https://github.com/nannou-org/nannou_osc)
and using other osc software to communicate with bevy.
Soon, realizing that nannou_osc is not that different
how you interfaces with midi, bevy_midi was born.

Here is one of the examples which you can use a midi controller
to play piano with ([audio](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692648638823923732/857177113923682304)): [Video](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/25123512/124200245-1fb86700-dad5-11eb-88a8-67bfef473bec.mp4)

The plugins is still in its infancy.
So it still has some performance issues, so
any feedback and contributions is highly appreciated.
### bevy_config_cam

[erupt] by [@Friz64] provides bindings to the Vulkan API.
[![bevy_config_cam logo](bevy_config_cam_logo.svg)](https://github.com/BlackPhlox/bevy_config_cam)

Since being last mentioned in the newsletter shortly after its release, erupt
has undergone significant development. The generator, erupt's heart, has been
rewritten from scratch with the aim to improve maintainability. On top of that,
many bugs were fixed, the function loader was rewritten and usability was
improved while always keeping up to date with the latest Vulkan Headers as best
as possible.
[bevy_config_cam](https://github.com/BlackPhlox/bevy_config_cam) by [@BlackPhlox](https://github.com/BlackPhlox)
is an all-in-one purpose camera/player controller for bevy.

The ecosystem has gained traction, with many people using the crate for their
projects. Pure Rust Vulkan allocators with support for erupt have been released.
With focus on plug-and-play,flexibility and ease of use, this bevy plugin is
for anyone who is prototyping in 3D and doesn't want the hassle of programming
a player-controller from scratch.Instantly switch between camera modes such as
Tracking to Topdown, Follow Behind, FPS and Free and more.
