Developer Dimillian shares progress on building a game engine in Rust with the AI coding assistant Astra: a new HUD, floating numbers and a new UI, with the game "starting to be insane." He says he feels like he "unlocked some magic words," or that Astra is simply that good at raw-coding an engine in Rust — a firsthand account of using an AI coding tool on a real project.
