I see, is that the vurpo_broken branch? :p What would you need for others to help you?

[vurpo]

These crates are not in a usable state yet, I'm currently working on getting an initial usable release done. (Currently occupied with finals, but I should have something within a couple of weeks)

The missing component is just the API bindings, (actually the API bindings generator) which would allow for Godot's APIs to be used from Rust code.

@vurpo -- What is the current method for generating the bindings? I see here you're using bindgen against https://github.com/GodotNativeTools/godot_headers/tree/1b2037a1f787a78bb5f2ba8d6b465022d28f8d48 but the CPP bindings project uses a JSON api instead https://github.com/GodotNativeTools/cpp_bindings/blob/master/SConstruct#L69

[vurpo]

I'm using bindgen to generate the Rust bindings to the GDNative C API, C++ doesn't need to do this because it can just use the C header file directly. I am currently in the middle of writing the binding generator for the Godot API itself from the JSON, but it's not finished yet.

I'm seconding the above question.

If there were a roadmap with tasks that others could pick up I'm sure you could find willing community members.

The most productive place to discuss the future of the project would probably be the #godotengine-gdnative channel on Freenode, where I think @karroffel knows more about this stuff now. I'm still actively following the whole Godot project, but I stopped working on this project because I didn't know how to continue with this, and then I started my studies.
