Rust Columns SEGA 1990 game for the terminal

rust_columns is a fun and easy to play game for the terminal, written in Rust. It is a work in progress game, that I use to learn several concepts of the Rust programming language, while doing so on a fun project.

Implemented behaviors

• Matching blocks on all cardinal axes
• Scoring points
• Losing game

Planned improvements

• Ranking
• Menu
• Speed optimizations for falling blocks
• Levels
• Sounds
• Resizing (2x)

Compile the game

You can run compile and run the game simply with:

$ cargo run

Using the binaries

If you wish to just play the game without compiling, head to the release page and find artifacts for multiple targets.
