rust-belt is a 2D video game featuring an original soundtrack 🎼 inspired by the classic Asteroids arcade game. It is implemented using the Rust game engine, Piston.

1. The latest stable release of Rust.

   1. Install rustup.

2. rust-belt uses piston-music to play music. piston-music depends on two third-party non-Rust libraries, SDL2 and SDL2_mixer. Install instructions are provided below.

Select to proceed with either the MSVC or GNU toolchain.

1. Ensure you are using the latest stable 64-bit MVSC toolchain with rustup show (stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc).
2. Ensure you have installed the Visual C++ Build Tools (as recommended by rustup during install). (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\cl.exe).
3. Download the latest SDL2 MSVC development library (SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC.zip).
4. Unpack and copy all .lib files from SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC\SDL2-2.0.x\lib\x64\ into a folder. If the LIB system environment variable does not exist, create it. Add that folder path to LIB.
5. Copy SDL2.dll into the rust-belt project folder, next to Cargo.toml.
6. Download the latest SDL2_mixer MSVC development library (SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.x-VC.zip).
7. Unpack and copy all .lib files from SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.x-VC\SDL2_mixer-2.0.x\lib\x64 into the same folder added in step 4 that was added to the LIB system environment variable.
8. Copy SDL2_mixer.dll and smpeg2.dll into the rust-belt project folder, next to Cargo.toml.

1. Ensure you using the latest stable 64-bit GNU ABI toolchain with rustup show (stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu).
2. Install MSYS2.
3. In an MSYS2 terminal: pacman --sync mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
4. Add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to system PATH.
5. Download the latest SDL2 MinGW development library (SDL2-devel-2.0.x-mingw.tar.gz).
6. Unpack and copy all .lib files from SDL2-devel-2.0.x-mingw\SDL2-2.0.x\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib into a folder. If the LIBRARY_PATH system environment variable does not exist, create it. Add that folder to LIBRARY_PATH.
7. Copy SDL2.dll into the rust-belt project folder, next to Cargo.toml.
8. Download the latest SDL2_mixer MinGW development library (SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.x-mingw.tar.gz).
9. Unpack and copy all .lib files from SDL2_mixer-devel-2.0.x-mingw\SDL2_mixer-2.0.x\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib\ into the same folder added in step 6 that was added to the LIB system environment variable.
10. Copy SDL2_mixer.dll and smpeg2.dll into the rust-belt project folder, next to Cargo.toml.

1. Install Homebrew (by default this will install gcc via Xcode development tools).
2. brew install sdl2
3. brew install sdl2_mixer --with-flac --with-fluid-synth --with-libmikmod --with-libmodplug --with-libvorbis --with-smpeg2

1. sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev
