Rust Ecosystem Integration Initiative

Overview

Create a comprehensive Rust presence in the jbcom ecosystem by extracting, polishing, and publishing reusable crates from existing game development projects.

Current State

• No Rust repositories exist in jbcom org
• Two substantial Rust codebases in jbdevprimary:
  • vintage-game-generator: ~19,420 LOC (AI RPG Generator)
  • cosmic-cults: ~19,089 LOC (Lovecraftian 4X RTS)
• Combined ~38,500 lines of production-quality Rust code

Goals

1. Establish rust- prefixed repositories in jbcom org
2. Publish reusable crates to crates.io
3. Showcase Rust expertise on jbcom.github.io
4. Demonstrate game development and AI integration skills

Tier 2: Medium Priority

Repository	Source	Crates.io Name
rust-bevy-fog-of-war	game-world	bevy-fog-of-war
rust-bevy-units	game-units	bevy-units
