Definitely not a cheap ExciteBike clone!
This project is written in Rust, using ggez.
For working with Rust, I recommend installing the toolchain via the rustup tool. As far as I know right now, we'll be targeting the stable 1.21.0 release of Rust.
The ggez framework is built on top of SDL2, a native library, which requires some development headers at build time. The SDL2 rust bindings document instructions for this, so please follow the instructions carefully.
I'm not sure what we will need for distribution at this point. It should be possible to compile a static binary for mac/linux, but on Windows they recommend distributing a pre-compiled DLL, which will be checked in at the root of the repo.
With your toolchain installed, you may also enjoy installing some cli tools such as:
| name | description |
|---|---|
watchexec |
a simple tool to re-run a command when a directory files change |
clippy |
a linter for rust projects |
rustfmt |
a tool for conforming your source to a style guide |
These can all be installed using cargo install <name>.
