What is YASS? It's just another 2D space shooter, created for fun. It serves as a sandbox project in which (square) wheels can be reinvented, (bad) design decisions tried out and (poor) implementation done for learning. It is not meant in any way to be fun, engaging, original or something else which a good game should be. A bit of effort is made though to keep the codebase clean, apply a consistent coding style and have an overall robust and performant implementation. Code is split in modules tied as less as possible, in order to make it easily copy-pastable to other projects.
Build and play on your own risk! :)
Did you like the project or found it somehow useful? Offer me a beer, I'll appreciate!

After having ensured all listed dependencies are installed, try:

Tested and ran on Mac OS X and Linux.
Not that difficult either:
$ ./game
