A Bevy game template
Template for a Game using the awesome Bevy engine featuring out of the box builds for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Web (Wasm).
Since Bevy is in heavy development, there regularly are unpublished new features or bug fixes. If you like living on the edge, you can use the branch bevy_main
of this template to be close to the current state of Bevy's main branch
What does this template give you?
- small example "game" (warning: biased; e.g., split into a lot of plugins and using
bevy_kira_audio
for sound) - easy setup for running the web build using trunk (
trunk serve
) - run the native version with
cargo run
- workflow for GitHub actions creating releases for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Web (Wasm) ready for distribution
- push a tag in the form of
v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+*
(e.g.v1.1.42
) to trigger the flow - WARNING: if you work in a private repository, please be aware that macOS and Windows runners cost more build minutes. You might want to consider running the workflow less often or removing some builds from it. For public repositories the builds are free!

Getting started with Bevy
You should check out the Bevy website for links to resources and the Bevy Cheat Book for a bunch of helpful documentation and examples. I can also recommend the official Bevy Discord server to keep up to date with the development and get feedback + help from other Bevy users.
Known issues
Audio in web-builds can have issues in some browsers. This seems to be a general performance issue and not due to the audio itself (see bevy_kira_audio/#9).
