Game Utils

Simple game utilities

Usage

Cargo

In your Cargo.toml file add

simple-game-utils = { version = "0.3.1", features = ["controller", "serde", "sound] }

Code

Timing

This program runs for 1 second then exits.

//track passage of time
let mut timing = Timing::new(240); //UPS
//triggers after specified time has passed
let mut timer = Timer::new(1.0);
loop {
    //automatically updates based on how much time has passed since the last call
    timing.update();
    //returns true if time has run out
    if timer.update(timing) {
        break;
    }   
}

Sound

Requires sound feature

let mut engine = AudioEngine::new().unwrap();
let mut sound = engine.load_from_bytes(&some_sound_bytes, duration).unwrap();
sound.play();
loop {
    timing.update();
    sound.update(&timing);
} 

Controller

Requires controller feature

// This will work whether or not there's a controller plugged in
let mut controller = GameController::new().expect("Unable to init controller lib");

loop {
    controller.update();
    if controller.direction.up {
        println!("DPad UP pressed");
    }
}

Features

Very basic controller support

• no support for choosing controllers
