GUNRUN's incremental compile time is currently 1.5 seconds on average. ~12k lines of #rustlang . Not terrible, but I've also been very careful about avoiding dependencies that BALLOON compile times. This is on a Ryzen 7 3700X. Going to upgrade to a newer Intel in a few days.

The world in this game is infinitely explorable. My trick for filling the world with an infinite number of enemies is to wrap the grid of enemies around the player as they move. The wrapping is really obvious on this tiny grid.
