It is fine that people are experimenting with putting graphics on the screen and playing with new languages. But I just wanted to comment that you don't need an "Entity Component System" in a game, and especially not for a very simple not-yet-a-game like shown here. (You also don't need inheritance or composition). It bothers me that so many people are buying into this hive-mind marketing on ECS, when in reality it i…
> ggez Off-topic but that’s a darn nice name for a game engine. Certainly ggez means “good game easy”. At least that’s how I read it. Clever because “gg” and “ez” is gamer terminology used by people that play video games, with “gg” meaning a match was good (equivalent of “thanks for the match”) and putting them together you get a new meaning which is that it will be easy to create a good game.

The trouble is, `gg` means `good game` and `ez` means `easy`. But `ggez` means `you suck and I'm better than you`.

> If you want to make a simple game like this, just sit down and program it in the obvious way. It will work. I have heard that the restrictions imposed by the Rust compiler make it surprisingly hard to get it working the normal way. The first time I heard of ECS was in a Rust talk about how it helped them stop fighting the borrow checker.

You seem disproportionately angry about this because of your personal experiences. It means you can create a "Good Game Easily"
It means that as much as "Sieg heil" means "hail to victory" and is an appropriate thing to say before a football match. You can't just take an existing phrase and pretend it doesn't mean what it means and feedback of the current meaning as "personal experiences".

EDIT: I should note that I am not accomplished as a game developer at all, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

But but but... I thought game programming was 99% procrastinating?!

I've never said ggez in a game before. I don't even play multiplayer games anymore. But I will, and I'll say it, just because of your posts.
