Rust Programming By Example

Events and Basic Game Mechanisms

In the last chapter, we saw how to add dependencies into a project thanks to Cargo and the basics of the SDL2 library.

We now have all the Rust basics in order to write the Tetris game. Time to look at how we will actually write Tetris.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Tetrimino
• Creating tetriminos
• Generating a tetrimino
• Tetris struct
• Interacting with the game map
• SDL events
• Score, level, lines sent
