Notes

This is my entry for the Ludum Dare 31 Jam, written entirely in Rust. In addition, I used the Tiled map editor and PyxelEdit for tilesets.

All audio is synthesized in-game, and resembles NES-style audio (there are 4 channels after all: 2 pulses, 1 triangle, and 1 noise).

Note: There is a lot of cleanup that needs to be done. In fact, a lot of the code is simply horrible; I mostly attribute this to reckless code-vomiting in the face of an ever-nearing deadline. The game logic in particular is very ad-hoc.

Todo

• Move rust-game-platforms to its own repo
• Move synth to its own repo
• Make rendering code more polymorphic (or at least more DRY)
• Clean up Tiled JSON level loader
• Simplify collision
