well I officially just missed the deadline
For those who are curious:I decided in the last few hours to try to contribute, with a simple "tiny snowflakes fall down and accumulate at the bottom of the screen" effect, and also use the entry as an excuse to learn the
Pebble SDK and see what it's like to use
Rust on embedded devices!
Needless to say, using Rust like this is quite a pain atm; at least when you can't pull in the standard lib. Or perhaps I just don't know how to do that properly
. Probably should've skipped the Rust part and made the app in C first... would've been much easier
On the bright side, I did manage to get
a nice little starting point working for anyone else who wants to play with the Pebble from Rust (unfortunately it's not available on Windows, but it might be useful anyways).
The full attempt is on
Github if you wanna check it out; I'll probably finish it one of these days. Or perhaps not, as it was all in all a VERY frustrating experience
Good luck to everyone else who entered; this turned into quite the interesting afternoon
