Snake game

A implementation of the good old snake game in rust programming language using the ggez game library. The sprite images were created with aseprite.

Features:

• A user friendly installer for different operating systems.
• A menu screen and a game over screen with indications.
• Different levels based on score.
• The snake can go through bounds of playground and appear on the opposite side of the screen.
• The fruit spawns in random positions in the playground.
• Retro sound whenever the snake eats.

Here's a screenshot of the game:

🎮 Controls

To play, use arrow keys to move the snake around the screen. It eats anything but you will only get points for eating the fruit. Use escape to quit the game.

How to run it locally ❓

Run the following commands on the terminal:

foo@bar:~$ git clone https://github.com/eiberham/snake.git
foo@bar:~$ cd snake
foo@bar:~$ cargo run

Create an installer for mac

This is the way I managed to build the app's bundle and create a .dmg file, following the documentation you can get an idea of how the bundle folder structure is.

Simply run the build_mac.sh script within the project's folder, you'll get a .dmg file within the bundle_mac folder:

foo@bar:~$ sh build_mac.sh

Now you can share it with any friend, acquaintance or whoever owns a mac.

What about windows ❓

For windows machines we can use cargo wix crate. But before doing so we have to run the build_win.sh script that is on the root folder.

foo@bar:~$ sh build_win.sh

Next install the wix toolset from here

Open a command prompt windows + r on your machine and run the following commands:

C:\> cargo install cargo-wix
C:\> cd snake
C:\snake\> cargo wix init
C:\snake\> cargo wix

The windows installer (msi) for the game will be in the C:\snake\target\wix folder.

What about gnu/linux ❓

Simple, by using cargo-deb.

This will only work for debian and debian based distros, so in order to create a .deb file you ought to install the cargo deb dependency and the specific target to compile to. Check out the targets available by running rustc --print target-list. i.e:

foo@bar:~$ rustup update
foo@bar:~$ cargo install cargo-deb
foo@bar:~$ rustup target add i686-unknown-linux-gnu
foo@bar:~$ cargo deb --target=i686-unknown-linux-gnu

Now you should have a .deb package ready to be installed in a debian based linux distro. Remember that you can install it by using dpkg -i package.deb command.

Upon running the above commands successfully you should have the debian package placed in the target/i686-unknown-linux-gnu directory.
