Been playing with Rust extensions in Godot and wanted to add a GitHub Actions workflow.

As well as the usual Rust suspects, I added:

— Scony/godot-gdscript-toolkit to lint GDScript;
— a Rust MSRV check; and
— cargo deny for license issue and vulnerability checks.

Been looking at Godot 4, GDScript and GDExtension for writing game logic in C, C++, Rust, Swift and other languages. Found some fantastic tutorials.

Love that Godot is lightweight, yet still powerful.
