godot-rust ([GitHub][gd-github], [Discord][gd-discord], [Twitter][gd-twitter])

is a Rust library that provides bindings for the Godot engine. Just this month,

a [Mastodon account][gd-mastodon] was opened to share development info.

November brings the long-awaited GDExtension binding, enabling access to Godot 4

features from Rust. Still in an early experimental phase, it is already possible

to run smaller examples like Godot's famous Dodge-the-Creeps tutorial game.

Compared to the GDNative binding, APIs are a bit simpler now:

- One central `Gd<T>` pointer combining `Ref`/`Instance` and their type-states

- Self-registering classes: `#[derive(GodotClass)]` and you're good-to-go

- Less `unsafe`, less `unwrap()`, more runtime checks

The repository is available at [godot-rust/gdextension][gd-github], while the

current development status is tracked in [#24][gd-24]. The [book][gd-book] as

well as documentation are still under construction.
