Pong-rust

Implementation of the game Pong using rust as programming language.

For this project I followed the "vulkan tutorial" up to the index buffers part using unkownue/vulkan-tutorial-rust repository as inspiration.

Getting started

External dependencies

This project was conceived in an Archlinux system which already had a lot of development tools available, so some external dependencies might have been overlooked or simply ignored. Below follows a list with some of the dependencies deemed important to work with this code.

Graphics card and drivers

This project runs using the Vulkan API, so it is expected that its host would kindly provide a graphics card with Vulkan support and have all required drivers in proper working condition.

Shader compiler

The binary glslc is used to compile GLSL into SPIR-V or something of the sorts.

Arch package: shaderc

Vulkan stuff

Arch packages:

Rust

Tested with rustc 1.73.0

Compile shaders

On the root of the project, run this command:

scripts/compile-shaders.sh shaders/src shaders/spv

Note: there are clearly no cleanup systems in place. It would be considered good manners to cleanup things with a friendly rm -rf ./shaders/spv before beginning any work.

Compile and run the game

Debug/Dev profile

Well, cargo build and cargo run. Not using no fancy stuff in here.

Release profile

Same as debug, but with a --release flag added to the listed commands.

Wishlist

Things that may be added as configuration
