Hi, this game was made using Amethyst with Rust. This was my first time using this engine and really my first time building anything substantial with Rust.
The game revolves around giving and taking health as life's unfortunately events come flying at you. Your score is based on how many family members are alive. Health is displayed as a color. Your final score gets printed out on the terminal.
Key T - Take Life -- Move your character over one of your family members and hold the key
Key G - Give Life -- Same as above
Arrow Keys to move around.
Key ESC -- exit game.
To compile from source code is kind of a pain because it takes so dang long.
1. First acquire rust
2. Then amethyst tools
3. Then you can run
```bash
brew install rust
cargo install amethyst_tools
git clone https://github.com/tfdiaz/lifeless
cd lifeless
cargo run
```
First it will grab all the dependencies which takes a long time. Then it will finally compile. You will get a few warnings but the game should launch! You can also grab the binary and that should work. You need to decompress the file. A folder called Life will have the binary within along with 3 folders font, resources, and texture. Run the executable from that folder and the game should launch.
Thank you for taking the time to play my little sad game. It was a painful but very much a satisfying time.
Best,
