A complete introduction to Rust taking a simple implementation of Tetris as an example to expand on (thanks to @mikejquinn https://github.com/mikejquinn/rust-tetris).
- in
src/, a simple but working Tetris that we will try to improve as we learn the language. - in
curriculum/, the text of the course over 10 weeks. See theintro.mdfile for a detailed overview of the content. - branches that work as bookmarks to easily checkout the state of the repo for each week
- Read the code to assimilate the basic concepts and flow of Rust programming.
- Expand on it by adding the following:
- Game over
- Levels and difficulty
- Scoring
- wall-kick
- For advanced learners, try the following, harder improvements:
- Enhance the graphics:
- ghost different from actual piece
- animation when the lines are cleared
- ASCII Art
- Add a screen title, a menu, options...
- Write tests
- Read the Tetris specification and make it more compliant
- Modularize the game by segregating the game engine and the display
- Add a real graphical engine
- Rework the game engine according to the ECS principles using a library like Legion
- Enhance the graphics:
