Invaders

Invaders is an open source terminal arcade game with audio, based off of the "Space Invaders" classic arcade game.

This game was initially developed for a presentation at OSCON Open Source Software Superstream Series: Live Coding—Go, Rust, and Python and then adapted for inclusion as an example project for the Ultimate Rust Crash Course. The tags part-1, part-2, etc. correspond to the various stages of the original presentation.

Since the original presentations, folks continue to tinker and improve the game. Feel free to fork this repository, make a change, and submit a pull request if you have a good idea!

Dependencies on Linux

Audio should work out-of-the-box on macOS, Windows, and iOS. For Linux, the downstream package for actually playing sound ([CPAL]) requires the Alsa development libraries to be installed.

CentOS

sudo yum install -y alsa-lib-devel

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt install libasound2-dev pkg-config
