Rust Drag Race is a drag race simulator implemented entirely within the terminal using Rust programming language. This project is designed to showcase Rust's capabilities in handling simulations and terminal-based applications.
Rust Drag Race is a project developed to improve understanding and usage of Rust structs, ownership, and terminal-based applications. It provides a drag race simulation experience right in your terminal, allowing users to configure race parameters and observe the race progress in real-time.
- Customizable Car Count: Choose the number of cars participating in the race.
- Tie Detection: Detect and handle tie scenarios gracefully during the race.
- Dynamic Race Length: Automatically sets the race length based on the terminal's width for an immersive experience.
- Optimized for Terminal Height: Limits the maximum number of cars based on the terminal's height to ensure smooth rendering.
- User Interaction: Provides options to restart the race or exit the application once the race finishes.
To get started with Rust Drag Race, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
If this does not work, copy the HTTPS clone string at the top of the Github repo.
git clone https://github.com/Concrete18/Rust-Drag-Race.git- Navigate to the project directory:
cd Rust-Race- Build and run the project:
cargo run --releaseOnce the project is running, you can interact with the drag race simulation as follows:
- Choose the number of cars to participate in the race.
- Observe the race progress in real-time as cars move towards the finish line.
- Upon race completion, you will be prompted with options to restart the race or exit the application.
