# Breakout Game in Rust

![breakoutimage](https://github.com/lostjared/Breakout.Rust/blob/main/capture.jpg "Breakout Image")

## Overview

This project is a Rust implementation of the classic arcade game Breakout. In this game, players control a paddle at the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball against a wall of bricks at the top. The goal is to break all the bricks without letting the ball fall off the bottom of the screen.

## Features

- High-resolution gameplay (1440x1080)

- Randomized brick colors

- Scoring system and live tracking

- Simple and intuitive paddle controls

## Prerequisites

Before you can run this game, you need to have the following installed:

- Rust programming language

- SDL2

- SDL2_ttf (for font rendering)

## Installation

1. **Install Rust:**

   Follow the instructions on the [official Rust website](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) to install Rust on your machine.

2. **Install SDL2 libraries:**

   SDL2 and SDL2_ttf are required to handle graphics rendering and font management. You can install these libraries through your operating system's package manager. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use:

   ```bash

   sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev

   ```

## Building and Running

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash

   git clone https://github.com/lostjared/Breakout.Rust.git

   cd Breakout.Rust/breakout-rust

   ```

2. Compile the project:

   ```bash

   cargo build --release

   ```

3. Run the game:

   ```bash

   cargo run --release

   ```
