You might have to change the permissions on Linux with chmod u+x ld46-*

How to play

Use the mouse to project your home planet from the alien invasion.

Build

You will need an up-to-date Rust setup.

Linux Dependencies

To build it on linux you will need the X11, OpenGL & Alsa development libraries:

sudo apt install libasound2-dev libx11-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-dev

Run

Native

You just need to run the following to compile & run the game after you've installed the dependencies:

cargo run --release

WASM

Add the wasm32 target to Rust, build it with that target & copy it to the root:

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
cargo build --release --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
cp target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/ld46.wasm .

Now we have to host the website:

cargo install basic-http-server
basic-http-server .
