rust-invaders

Rust Invaders

Same Space Invaders–style game as the other folders, using the raylib crate. Part of the polyglot repo; see the root README for context, controls overview, and comparison notes.

Requirements

• Rust — a toolchain that supports edition = "2024" in Cargo.toml (see rustc --version / rustup if cargo errors on the edition).
• Raylib — the raylib crate links against the native library. If the build fails with missing raylib / pkg-config errors, install your platform’s Raylib development package so the linker can resolve it.

Run

From the repository root:

cd rust-invaders
cargo run

Tests

cd rust-invaders
cargo test

Layout

• src/main.rs — window setup, input, main loop.
• src/state.rs — GameState, modes, update logic.
• src/entities.rs — entity types.
• src/collision.rs — hit tests (includes unit tests).
• src/config.rs — dimensions and tuning constants.

Controls

Move with Left / Right, A / D, or H / L. Space counts as pressed or held for shooting. Enter restarts after game over or win. Zig-only differences: root README — Controls.
