[mochi] by [@richardanaya] is a game engine oriented toward

low-power mobile Linux phones/tablets.

It's written in Rust and uses Gtk and Cairo.

All drawing is done with an [Cairo Context][cairo-context] that mochi

has extended to do some really [common graphics operations][mochi-cairo].

This project is super alpha but usable.

Current features include: touch, screen rotation, atlases, sounds.

[pinephone-cairo-game-starter][mochi-start] is a starter for creating

a Cairo-based game in Rust for [PinePhone][pinephone-wiki]

[Optick][optick] by [@bombomby] is a lightweight C++ profiler for games

that provides access for all the necessary tools required for

efficient performance analysis and optimization:

instrumentation, switch-contexts, sampling, GPU counters.

This month Rust API for Optick was released: [optick-rs].

Also, a set of procedural macros for simplifying the process of code markup

were published: [optick-attr].

#[optick_attr::profile]

fn calc() { /* Do some stuff*/ }

#[optick_attr::capture("capture_name")]

pub fn main() {

calc();

}

[RON][ron] (Rusty Object Notation) is a simple readable data serialization format

that looks similar to Rust syntax and is designed

to support all of [Serde's data model][serde-data].

RON is relatively popular amongst Rust game developers.

This month [@JonahHenriksson] released [intellij-ron] - a new plugin

that adds [RON][ron] support to IntelliJ-based IDEs.

- `sia_viewer` - a standalone Mesh(.sia) Viewer.
