# Examples

These examples demonstrate the main features of Bevy and how to use them.
To run an example, use the command `cargo run --example <Example>`, and add the option `--features x11` or `--features wayland` to force the example to run on a specific window compositor, e.g.

```sh
cargo run --features wayland --example hello_world
```

**⚠️ Note: for users of releases on crates.io!**

There are often large differences and incompatible API changes between the latest [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/bevy) release and the development version of Bevy in the git main branch!

If you are using a released version of bevy, you need to make sure you are viewing the correct version of the examples!

- Latest release: [https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/tree/latest/examples](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/tree/latest/examples)
- Specific version, such as `0.4`: [https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/tree/v0.4.0/examples](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/tree/v0.4.0/examples)

When you clone the repo locally to run the examples, use `git checkout` to get the correct version:

```bash
# `latest` always points to the newest release
git checkout latest
# or use a specific version
git checkout v0.4.0
```

## Shaders

These examples demonstrate how to implement different shaders in user code.

A shader in its most common usage is a small program that is run by the GPU per-vertex in a mesh (a vertex shader)
or per-affected-screen-fragment (a fragment shader.) The GPU executes these programs in a highly parallel way.

There are also compute shaders which are used for more general processing leveraging the GPU’s parallelism.

Example | File | Description
--- | --- | ---
`animate_shader` | [`shader/animate_shader.rs`](./shader/animate_shader.rs) | A shader that uses dynamic data like the time since startup.

`shader_defs` | [`shader/shader_defs.rs`](./shader/shader_defs.rs) | A shader that uses "shaders defs" (a bevy tool to selectively toggle parts of a shader).
`shader_instancing` | [`shader/shader_instancing.rs`](./shader/shader_instancing.rs) | A shader that renders a mesh multiple times in one draw call.
`shader_material` | [`shader/shader_material.rs`](./shader/shader_material.rs) | A shader and a material that uses it.
`shader_material_glsl` | [`shader/shader_material_glsl.rs`](./shader/shader_material_glsl.rs) | A shader that uses the GLSL shading language.
`shader_material_screenspace_texture` | [`shader/shader_material_screenspace_texture.rs`](./shader/shader_material_screenspace_texture.rs) | A shader that samples a texture with view-independent UV coordinates.

## Stress Tests

These examples are used to test the performance and stability of various parts of the engine in an isolated way.

Due to the focus on performance it's recommended to run the stress tests in release mode:

```sh
cargo run --release --example <example name>
```

## Tools

Example | File | Description

# Platform-Specific Examples

## Android

### Setup

```sh
rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi
cargo install cargo-apk
```

The Android SDK must be installed, and the environment variable `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` set to the root Android `sdk` folder.

When using `NDK (Side by side)`, the environment variable `ANDROID_NDK_ROOT` must also be set to one of the NDKs in `sdk\ndk\[NDK number]`.

### Build & Run

To run on a device setup for Android development, run:

```sh
cargo apk run --example android
```

:warning: At this time Bevy does not work in Android Emulator.

When using Bevy as a library, the following fields must be added to `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[package.metadata.android]
build_targets = ["aarch64-linux-android", "armv7-linux-androideabi"]
target_sdk_version = 29
min_sdk_version = 16
```

Please reference `cargo-apk` [README](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-apk) for other Android Manifest fields.

### Old phones

Bevy by default targets Android API level 29 in its examples which is the <!-- markdown-link-check-disable -->
[Play Store's minimum API to upload or update apps](https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk). <!-- markdown-link-check-enable -->
Users of older phones may want to use an older API when testing.

To use a different API, the following fields must be updated in Cargo.toml:

```toml
[package.metadata.android]
target_sdk_version = >>API<<
min_sdk_version = >>API or less<<
```

Example | File | Description
--- | --- | ---
`android` | [`android/android.rs`](./android/android.rs) | The `3d/3d_scene.rs` example for Android

## iOS

### Setup

You need to install the correct rust targets:

- `aarch64-apple-ios`: iOS devices
- `x86_64-apple-ios`: iOS simulator on x86 processors
- `aarch64-apple-ios-sim`: iOS simulator on Apple processors

```sh
rustup target add aarch64-apple-ios x86_64-apple-ios aarch64-apple-ios-sim
```

### Build & Run

Using bash:

```sh
cd examples/ios
make run
```

In an ideal world, this will boot up, install and run the app for the first
iOS simulator in your `xcrun simctl devices list`. If this fails, you can
specify the simulator device UUID via:

```sh
DEVICE_ID=${YOUR_DEVICE_ID} make run
```

If you'd like to see xcode do stuff, you can run

```sh
open bevy_ios_example.xcodeproj/
```

which will open xcode. You then must push the zoom zoom play button and wait
for the magic.

Example | File | Description
--- | --- | ---
`ios` | [`ios/src/lib.rs`](./ios/src/lib.rs) | The `3d/3d_scene.rs` example for iOS

## WASM

### Setup

```sh
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli
```

### Build & Run

Following is an example for `lighting`. For other examples, change the `lighting` in the
following command.

```sh
cargo run -p build-wasm-example -- lighting
```

This is the same as running

```sh
cargo build --release --example lighting --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
wasm-bindgen --out-name wasm_example --out-dir examples/wasm/target --target web target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/examples/lighting.wasm
```

The first command will build the example for the wasm target, creating a binary. Then,
[wasm-bindgen-cli](https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-bindgen/reference/cli.html) is used to create
javascript bindings to this wasm file, which can be loaded using this
[example HTML file](./wasm/index.html).

Then serve `examples/wasm` directory to browser. i.e.

```sh
# cargo install basic-http-server
basic-http-server examples/wasm

# with python
python3 -m http.server --directory examples/wasm

# with ruby
ruby -run -ehttpd examples/wasm
```

### Loading Assets

To load assets, they need to be available in the folder examples/wasm/assets. Cloning this
repository will set it up as a symlink on Linux and macOS, but you will need to manually move
the assets on Windows.
