Introduction

A small multiplayer snake game written in Rust for learning purpose.

• snake_server is the server-side of the game
• snake_client is the client-side, multiple instances can be executed to connect to a game hosted by an instance of snake_server

Requirements

• Rust environment and cargo
• This project uses the Rust crate termion which supports Redox, Mac OS X, and Linux (or, in general, ANSI terminals).
• This project has been solely developed and tested on Fedora 33

Compile the projects

Use the makefile:

make

Start demos

• 1 player game with 4 snakes

  make demo1

• 2 players game with 4 snakes

  make demo2

Start a game manually

1. Launch binary from snake_server

   cargo run // in snake_server directory

   • Without any arguments you will have a game with 4 snakes which 3 of them are bots
   • You can add command line arguments
     • for a game with 3 snakes and 1 bot

     cargo run 3 1

   • The game won't start until enough "human" players join
2. Launch binary from snake_client

   cargo // in snake_client directory

   • Without any arguments your terminal will host one player
   • You can also play with 2 players on the same terminal
