BrickBreaker

A simple 2D Brick Breaker game

Used technologies and best practices:

• Rust
• ggez
• REDUX design pattern

How to run:

• debug mode: $DEBUG=1 cargo run

• release mode: $cargo run

• tests: $cargo test

• tests with logs: $cargo test -- --nocapture

Input:

• left, right arrow from the keyboard - move the skateboard
• space - switch from "Next level" screen to "Game screen"; switch from "Game over" screen to "Next level" screen

Database:

• The level and score information is stored in the file score.txt in the root of the project

Strengths:

• The transition between the different screens is handled with the REDUX design pattern.
• Running in Debug mode shows the bounding boxes and is not affected by the ball touching the floor.
• Easily configurable positioning of the bricks for different sizes of screens.
• Three (and easily extendable for more) states of the bricks which allows different behavior when a brick is touched by the ball.
• Read from a local file which stores the max score and the last reached level. Updates the result on game over and on winning of the level.
• Easily extendable for adding more screens (pause, user settings like user name).
• The sizes of the assets are relative - if some asset is changed with other size asset runtime, the collisions will work correctly.
