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.

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, 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

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

git checkout v0.3.0

WASM

Setup

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.

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.

basic-http-server examples/wasm
Example File Description
hello_wasm wasm/hello_wasm.rs Runs a minimal example that logs "hello world" to the browser's console
headless_wasm 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 Demonstrates how to load assets from wasm
winit_wasm wasm/winit_wasm.rs Logs user input to the browser's console. Requires the bevy_winit features

iOS

Setup

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

Build & Run

Using bash:

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:

DEVICE_ID=${YOUR_DEVICE_ID} make run

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

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.

Android

Setup

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:

cargo apk run --example android

⚠️ 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:

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

Please reference cargo-apk README 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. 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:

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