Flappy bird game in rust making use of sdl2 library

Screenshot

How to use it

1. Download and setup sdl2 for rust on your OS by following this guide
2. I went with the msvc for windows route
3. The guide in step one only shows you how to set up sdl2 but not sdl2_image. The procedure is pretty much the same except you will just be setting up sdl2_image
4. SDL2 and SDL2_image dll's are already included in this repo in the flappy bird files directory.
5. After all of the set-up is done, run:

cargo run

6. Cargo will build and run your game for you.
