Rust Conf, Space Games, and UI crates - This Week in Bevy Engine

https://thisweekinbevy.com/issue/2024...

Back from Rust Conf its time to catch up on another week in Bevy!

A Bevy meetup happened in-person at Rust Conf featuring Tiny Glade demos and a Q&A session from Alice, and there was a Bevy talk “Shooting Stars! Livecode a Game in 30 Minutes” presented at the conference. Videos will go out sometime in the future.

The community also responded to Bevy's 4th birthday post this week. The posts were collected in the Community Reflection on Bevy's Fourth Year post on the Bevy blog including Alice's Dream Job post and more from the community.
