# 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,

Due to changes and additions to APIs, there are often differences between the development examples and the released versions of Bevy on crates.io.
If you are using a release version from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/bevy), view the examples by checking out the appropriate git tag, e.g., users of `0.3` should use the examples on [https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/tree/v0.3.0/examples](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/tree/v0.3.0/examples)

If you have cloned bevy's repo locally, `git checkout` with the appropriate version tag.
```
git checkout v0.3.0
```

# 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 [Play Store's minimum API to upload or update apps](https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk). 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<<
```

## iOS

#### Setup

```sh
rustup target add aarch64-apple-ios x86_64-apple-ios
cargo install cargo-lipo
```

#### 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.

The Xcode build GUI will by default build the rust library for both
`x86_64-apple-ios`, and `aarch64-apple-ios` which may take a while. If you'd
like speed this up, you update the `IOS_TARGETS` User-Defined environment
variable in the "`cargo_ios` target" to be either `x86_64-apple-ios` or
`aarch64-applo-ios` depending on your goal.

Note: if you update this variable in Xcode, it will also change the default
used for the `Makefile`.

## WASM

#### Setup

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

#### Build & Run

Following is an example for `headless_wasm`. For other examples in wasm/ directory,
change the `headless_wasm` in the following commands **and edit** `examples/wasm/index.html`
to point to the correct `.js` file.

```sh
cargo build --example headless_wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --no-default-features
wasm-bindgen --out-dir examples/wasm/target --target web target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/debug/examples/headless_wasm.wasm
```

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

```sh
basic-http-server examples/wasm
```

Example | File | Description
--- | --- | ---
`hello_wasm` | [`wasm/hello_wasm.rs`](./wasm/hello_wasm.rs) | Runs a minimal example that logs "hello world" to the browser's console
`headless_wasm` | [`wasm/headless_wasm.rs`](./wasm/headless_wasm.rs) | Sets up a schedule runner and continually logs a counter to the browser's console
`assets_wasm` | [`wasm/assets_wasm.rs`](./wasm/assets_wasm.rs) | Demonstrates how to load assets from wasm
