Is there a plan to allow users to draw other shapes such as circles and triangles etc?

I know that Bevy currently allows the users to draw rectangles, but is there a plan when Bevy will allow the user to draw other shapes such as circles, triangles etc without needing third party extensions for Bevy such as Lyon?

My understanding is Yes, Eventually:tm:.

IMO, this is likely to build off the work started in #1621. Stay tuned for a full RFC laying out the general shape of the vision on this and related features. As a sneak peek, my expectation is that we'll probably end up going:

1. Geometric primitives
2. Debug drawing (Debug Draw #1625), built off the geometric primitives, to actually render the geometric primitives
3. More customization options for the debug drawing
4. A bevy_shapes subcrate that uses these same geometric primitive options to create nice APIs for drawing other polygons and line types in 2D and 3D

Oh nice, is this for version 0.5 release?

No, 0.5 is getting wrapped up as we speak, I'd expect it to release next week.

Primitives (#1621) will need an RFC first as it's pretty fundamental to the engine. I would expect primitives and debug to make it into 0.6.

Thanks mate

Migrated to a Discussion.

Just as a heads up to readers that are confused, we've opted to go with github's auto-migration feature instead. It works quite well!
