8bit duels

projects

8bit Duels is a multiplayer online game I built over the course of a year in order to learn the Rust programming language. The engine I used is Bevy. You can find the YouTube video for the game at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maKARl89Qos.

I made this game between 2022 and 2023 when I was 13-14, so please excuse the many typos weird English I wrote then. It is not the project I'm most proud of, but I learned a lot and it was my first time blogging about my programming journey.

The project never really took off, mostly because my work on it was inconsistent and I released it as a binary on Github, not as a web-playable version. It did get featured on the Rust Gamedev newsletter though, which sadly doesn't seem to be active anymore.
