Rusty Tetris

A Tetris clone written in Rust.

The fall speed increases every 10 tetrominoes.

Keys:

• E / Q or Up => rotate
• A / D or Left / Right => move
• S or Down => fast move
• space => drop immediately
• F1 => restart the game at any time

Command line options

• -m By default the game starts with a resolution of 600x800. With the -m option a minified version gets rendered which should also work on smaller screens.
• -o Switches off the background music
• -i specifies the number of initial lines whose cells should be randomly filled

How to build & run

Prerequisites:

• Rust 1.0 or newer (best way to install is rustup)
• install External Dependencies

Build & run:

1. git clone ... the repository
2. cd into the rusty-tetris directory
3. cargo run --release

Windows:

if you use the msvc based version of Rust you have to take care to install the msvc development libs of SDL2 and SDL_mixer.

1. download SDL2-devel-2.x.x-VC.zip
2. download SDL2_mixer-devel-2.x.x-VC.zip
3. unzip and copy the *.lib files into your Rust lib directory typically %HOMEPATH%\.rustup\toolchains\stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib
4. finally you need to copy the *.dll files next to the rusty-tetris executable or if you run rusty-tetris with cargo you can place them in the projects root directory.

Dependencies

The project uses the piston game engine with the glutin backend.

External Dependencies

The piston game engine currently depends on a few external non-Rust libraries

• SDL and SDL2_mixer (see rust-sdl2 library README)
• freetype (see here)
