Tetra is a simple 2D game framework written in Rust. It uses SDL2 for event handling and OpenGL 3.2+ for rendering.
Note that Tetra is still extremely early in development! It may/will have bugs and missing features (the big ones currently being sound and gamepad support). That said, you're welcome to give it a go and let me know what you think :)
To add Tetra to your project, add the following line to your Cargo.toml file:
tetra = "0.1"
You will also need to install the SDL2 native libraries, as described here.
To get a simple window displayed on screen, the following code can be used:
```rust extern crate tetra;
use tetra::graphics::{self, Color}; use tetra::{Context, ContextBuilder, State};
struct GameState;
impl State for GameState { fn update(&mut self, _ctx: &mut Context) {}
fn draw(&mut self, ctx: &mut Context, _dt: f64) {
// Cornflour blue, as is tradition
graphics::clear(ctx, Color::rgb(0.392, 0.584, 0.929));
}
}
fn main() -> tetra::Result { let ctx = &mut ContextBuilder::new() .title("Hello, world!") .quitonescape(true) .build()?;
let state = &mut GameState;
tetra::run(ctx, state)
} ```
You can see this example in action by running cargo run --example hello_world.
The full list of examples available are:
hello_world - Opens a window and clears it with a solid color.texture - Loads and displays a texture.animation - Displays an animation, made up of regions from a texture.nineslice - Slices a texture into nine segments to display a dialog box.keyboard - Moves a texture around based on keyboard input.mouse - Moves a texture around based on mouse input.tetras - A full example game (which is entirely legally distinct from a certain other block-based puzzle game cough).As mentioned above, Tetra is fairly early in development, so there's likely to be bugs/flaky docs/general weirdness. Please feel free to leave an issue/PR if you find something!
