During this spring break i've decided to learn rust, and what best way to do it other than writing small projects. One of which is a small defender game i want to write following this tutorial.
However, I encounter an error, which contains the following:
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to initialize any backend! Wayland status: XdgRuntimeDirNotSet X11 status: XOpenDisplayFailed'
This turns out to be a problem with the windows linux subsytem's problem. So in order to counter this problem, i found out that there is this github repo , wslg, that is dedicated to this problem.
This also brings out another problem, which relates to the wsl version that i was using. During previous usage, especially during web development, wsl2 showed a really slowed performance. So this whole time I was using wsl1. However, wslg requires wsl2 in order to function, so that means I'll have to find a counter to that.
Fortunatly, i did find a possible solution.
