Snake Game With Rust, JavaScript, and WebAssembly

🚀 Build a Real Game With Rust and JavaScript: Snake Game with Rust, JavaScript, and WebAssembly 🐍

Course Overview:

In this hands-on course, we embark on an exciting journey to build a classic Snake game using Rust for performance-critical components and JavaScript for a dynamic user interface. We'll leverage the power of WebAssembly to create a seamless integration between Rust and JavaScript. By the end of this course, not only will you have crafted a fully functional game, but you'll also understand how to design modular and efficient code structures that can be reused or expanded for your own games.

What You'll Learn:

• 🎮 Game Development Basics: Dive into the fundamentals of game development, including understanding game loops, rendering with canvas, and implementing user input handling.
• 🚀 Rust and WebAssembly: Explore how to export Rust code as a WebAssembly module and interact with it from JavaScript.
• 📦 API Design: Learn how to design a clean and efficient API between Rust and JavaScript for game logic.
• 🖥️ Responsive Game Design: Ensure your game is responsive and looks great on all devices, from mobile phones to large screens.

Features of the Snake Game:

• 🐍 Classic Game Mechanics: Enjoy the classic Snake game experience with eating food, growing the snake, and avoiding walls and the tail.
• ⏫ Score Tracking: Save and display the best score achieved, along with the current score for an engaging player experience.
• 🛑 Pause Game Functionality: Implement a feature to pause the game by pressing the space button.
• 📱 Cross-Platform Compatibility: Design the game to be responsive and adaptable across different devices and screen sizes.

Course Breakdown:

1. Planning Your Game: Define features, decide on the game's look and feel, and outline the action plan.
2. Setting Up the Development Environment: Install necessary tools and kick off your project with a solid foundation.
3. Rendering the Game: Create instances of the Game struct and render all game objects in JavaScript.
4. Game Logic: Implement the core logic of the Snake game, including snake movement, direction handling, and food placement.
5. User Interaction: Capture user input for controlling the snake and stopping the game.
6. Scoring System: Develop the scoring system to keep track of the player's performance.
7. Game Loop: Set up a robust game loop that runs independently in Rust and interacts with JavaScript.
8. Growing the Snake: Update the snake's tail length when it eats food.
9. Game Over Logic: Add functionality to restart or end the game based on collisions.
10. Finalizing the Game: Ensure the game can be deployed for others to play and enjoy.
