Learning Game Development, ECS and Rust

This repository contains the code I write while learning game development, ECS architectures and Rust. I have no experience in any of these things, so don't expect this code to be of very high quality.

The game logic and assets are all based on CS50's Introduction to Game Development course on edX.

My goal is to implement all the 2D games (lecture 1-8) from that course in Rust using the GGEZ game engine and the Specs ECS library. The main reason I am doing this is to learn the Rust language and experiment with ECS architectures in general.

Implemented GD50 games

Running the games

Clone the repository and run cargo run -p [game-name]. E.g. to start pong run cargo run -p pong.

Progressive feature implementation

The idea is to try out some new features and concepts in each game, and make them progressively more advanced in terms of ECS usage.

Pong

setup ggez and Specs ECS in rather basic way
handle basic keyboard input
uses the concept of scenes
load custom fonts
render rectangle and text entities in draw methods
uses sounds in various systems.
