Rust Console Game Engine

This is a hobby project. It's a console game engine for Rust. Heavily inspired by javidx9's One Lone Coder Console Game Engine. The goal is to learn Rust and a bit about making games.

For now, it only works on Windows.

Requirements

• windows
• rustc

Usage

cargo build one of the examples from examples/**. The actual engine is in src/lib.rs.

Debugging with VSCode & rust-analyser

The following settings need to be in your settings.json file :

{
    "rust-analyzer.linkedProjects": [
        "Cargo.toml",
        "examples/fps/Cargo.toml",
        "examples/noise/Cargo.toml",
        "examples/racer/Cargo.toml",
        "examples/test_engine/Cargo.toml"
    ]
}

The following tasks need to be in your tasks.json file :

{
    "type": "cargo",
    "label": "fps",
    "command": "build",
    "problemMatcher": [
        "$rustc"
    ],
    "group": "build",
    "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/fps"
    }
},
{
    "type": "cargo",
    "label": "noise",
    "command": "build",
    "problemMatcher": [
        "$rustc"
    ],
    "group": "build",
    "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/noise"
    }
},
{
    "type": "cargo",
    "label": "racer",
    "command": "build",
    "problemMatcher": [
        "$rustc"
    ],
    "group": "build",
    "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/racer"
    }
}

The following configuration needs to be in your launch.json file :

{
    "name": "fps",
    "type": "cppvsdbg",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/fps/target/debug/fps.exe",
    "args": [],
    "stopAtEntry": false,
    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/fps",
    "environment": [],
    "console": "newExternalWindow",
    "preLaunchTask": "fps"
},
{
    "name": "noise",
    "type": "cppvsdbg",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/noise/target/debug/noise.exe",
    "args": [],
    "stopAtEntry": false,
    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/noise",
    "environment": [],
    "console": "newExternalWindow",
    "preLaunchTask": "noise"
},
{
    "name": "racer",
    "type": "cppvsdbg",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/racer/target/debug/racer.exe",
    "args": [],
    "stopAtEntry": false,
    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/examples/racer",
    "environment": [],
    "console": "newExternalWindow",
    "preLaunchTask": "racer"
}
