Rust Game Window

This project is a simple Rust implementation of a game window using the ggez library. It creates a window with a movable white square that can be controlled using arrow keys.

Prerequisites

• Rust programming language
• Cargo package manager

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone git@github.com:cschladetsch/RustGame.git
   cd RustGame
   

2. Ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust:

   rustup update stable
   

Running the Game

To run the game, use the following command in the project directory:

cargo run

Running on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

If you're using WSL, you'll need to set up an X server on Windows and use the following command to run the game:

DISPLAY=:0 cargo run

You may also need to set the LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT environment variable:

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1

Game Controls

• Use the arrow keys to move the white square:
  • Left Arrow: Move left
  • Right Arrow: Move right
  • Up Arrow: Move up
  • Down Arrow: Move down

Project Structure

• Cargo.toml: Contains the project configuration and dependencies.
• src/main.rs: Contains the main game logic, including window creation, event handling, and rendering.

Customization

You can customize the game by modifying the constants at the top of main.rs:

• WINDOW_WIDTH and WINDOW_HEIGHT: Change the size of the game window.
• SQUARE_SIZE: Adjust the size of the movable square.
• SQUARE_SPEED: Modify the speed at which the square moves.
