Rust for Game Development

• Basic understanding of programming concepts
• Experience with a programming language (such as C or C++)
• Familiarity with game development concepts is helpful but not required

Audience

• Game developers
• Programmers interested in game development with Rust

Rust is a high-performance and memory-safe programming language that is gaining popularity in the game development industry. With its focus on safety, concurrency, and performance, Rust provides developers with the tools to create efficient and robust game engines, systems, and gameplay logic.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at game developers and programmers who wish to leverage Rust for game development and gain the necessary skills to build high-quality games using Rust.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up a development environment for game development with Rust.
• Understand game development concepts and architecture using Rust.
• Utilize Rust's memory safety features in game development.
• Implement game mechanics, systems, and gameplay logic using Rust.
• Integrate with graphics libraries or engines for rendering in Rust games.
• Optimize and debug Rust game code for performance and stability.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Hands-on exercises and coding assignments.
• Real-world game development projects and demos.
