# Pac-Man

If the title doesn't clue you in, I'm remaking Pac-Man with SDL and Rust.

The project is _extremely_ early in development, but check back in a week, and maybe I'll have something cool to look
at.

## Feature Targets

- Near-perfect replication of logic, scoring, graphics, sound, and behaviors.
- Written in Rust, buildable on Windows, Linux, Mac and WebAssembly.
- Online demo, playable in a browser.
- Automatic build system, with releases for Windows, Linux, and Mac & Web-Assembly.
- Debug tooling
    - Game state visualization
    - Game speed controls + pausing
    - Log tracing
    - Performance details

## Experimental Ideas

- Perfected Ghost Algorithms
- More than 4 ghosts
- Custom Level Generation
    - Multi-map tunnelling

## Installation

Besides SDL2, the following extensions are required: Image, Mixer, and TTF.

### Ubuntu

On Ubuntu, you can install the required packages with the following command:

```
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev
```

### Windows

On Windows, installation requires either building from source (not covered), or downloading the pre-built binaries.

The latest releases can be found here:

- [SDL2](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/latest/)
- [SDL2_image](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_image/releases/latest/)
- [SDL2_mixer](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer/releases/latest/)
- [SDL2_ttf](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/releases/latest/)

Download each for your architecture, and locate the appropriately named DLL within. Move said DLL to root of this project.

## Building

To build the project, run the following command:

```
cargo build
```

During development, you can easily run the project with:

```
cargo run
cargo run -q # Quiet mode, no logging
cargo run --release # Release mode, optimized
```
