What I did

Today felt a little like laundry-day:
I reviewed and accepted a pull-request by kingoflolz that made a low-level thing more idiomatic for Rust.
I separated some of the engine code into smaller pieces, which will make it easier to document, test and benchmark each of them
I adopted rustfmt, a style-linter for Rust (basically an automated grammar nazi) and applied it to the whole Citybound codebase
- It destroyed my beautiful hand-crafted and definitely not sloppy formatting
- It applied consistent and nice formatting in most places
- It made the uglyness of some particularly ugly code shine much more brightly
- It forced me to fix lots of formatting by hand which it was smart enough to complain about but too stupid to fix itself
- This all might seem like a detail, but actually helps a lot to achieve consistent code style when a lot of people (or just one very inconsistent person) work together
I hooked up continous integration (Travis)
- This allows me to automatically run tasks and checks when someone publishes code changes
- Right now I'm only using it to enforce the new code-style
- But: this will also be used to automatically compile and bundle the game for Windows/Mac/Linux, making publishing of new releases much easier!
- Once there are tests, those can also be run automatically when the code changes.
