Sideways

Sideways is a small personal project. Its purpose is to learn some game programming in Rust.

Prerequisites

For building on Linux you will need the development libraries of SDL2. For example in Ubuntu or Debian:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev

You will also need the Rust development tools, rustc and cargo. The easiest way to install these is by following the instructions at rustup.rs.
