Tetris clone in Rust using the Amethyst Library
To run the game, run the following command, which defaults to the vulkan graphics backend:
cargo runYou can explicitly choose a graphics backend by adding --no-default-features --features ["vulkan"/"metal"].
A and D move the block left and right, respectively.
W rotates the block.
S and Space soft- and hard-drop the block, respectively.
The game is in a basic playable state, complete with most defining features:
- Blocks spawn and fall
- Players can move the block left-right and rotate it
- Players can soft- or hard-drop the block
- Blocks in a line are destroyed, causing above lines to fall
TODO:
- Add sprite for single square, and tint it to draw blocks
- Add loss condition
- Add score and eventually high scores
- Speed up as game progresses, either with levels or passively
- Consider adding display of next one or several block types
- Add main and pause menus
Contributions are happily welcome! Even opening an issue regarding a bug your experienced or a feature you wished was included is helpful.
Anyone with experience in Amethyst graphics is welcome to take a crack at rendering sprite-based graphics for blocks. Adding SpriteRender to DeadBlock will be easy, but I'm still considering options for rendering the constituent squares on Block.
I am also open to any assets, graphical or otherwise, that anyone is willing to offer under a permissive license.
The project is under the MIT license. There are currently no assets, so no decision as to their licencing has been made.
