However, when I look at an animated gif of circular buffers the motion of the read and write heads reminds me of the wall of death. The write head’s ever advancing march over values that were yet to be read, but might never see I/O. An ongoing video game project of mine is where I experiment with Rust’s features to expand my understanding of the language. When I initially wrote Rasengan, a minimal circular buffer implementation, I had no plans on integrating it into the project. However, recently I wanted to implement a sort of blurred motion streak behind the video game character and Rasengan popped into my brain. ...

Live | Repository Motivation I’ve been using Bevy for a video game project and it’s been a delightful experience. As the project has grown, I’ve turned into a level designer, animator, illustrator, along with being a programmer. Sometimes I hit walls, and rabbit holes around those walls are too compelling to pass up. One such rabbit hole was building an animation state machine that could create different looping animations from a single sprite sheet. The only reason for using a single sprite-sheet is that being the dev and the illustrator is very time consuming and I wanted my workflow to remain as simple as possible. But as I’ve built a few different prototypes the single spritesheet model has proven to be quite useful. ...
