Build and run

Download binary (64-bit Windows and Linux) here: https://github.com/juchiast/boxcrash/releases

This code should be compiled with the latest stable version of Rust (1.15.1 as of this writing).

Almost all game's constants are configurable via resources/config.json. You should edit the screen size details to match your monitor.

Control:

• Move left/right: A, D
• Speed-up: W
• Jump: Space
• Stare and shoot: Hold right mouse, then click left mouse

Known bugs

Game run a bit slow on Windows machine.

Crashed on some Ubuntu machines with a "Cannot find root window" error (I still don't know how to fix). This seem to be a piston_window's bug.

What's next?

• Write an article about the writing of this code.
• Fix some known bugs.
• Test game on more machines.
• Write a GUI to configure and restart game.
• Draw more details of box and the road.
• Add crashing animations.
• Add some sounds.
• Try to build on Web and Android.
