My mother has been losing memory these days. And she has some pride in not using apps already available in the play store. So, I thought I create a game and with some sense of pride, she would play it. Thus began the journey of the Concentration game. Bevy game engine in rust lang was my choice. I set up the dev-env in Linux (ArcoLinux - Arch). Hopping from one tutorial to another, settled with the minesweeper example found on Bevy assets page.
Going through the tutorial repository tag by tag ( git checkout <chapter number>) was useful to copy the necessary code for that concept in the chapter. After following all the Chapters, I have a working wasm project available at recall-stones on itch.io.
Some facts:
For a given deck of cards n.
The game will be over in n turns if the player is totally lucky.
The game would be over in 2*n -1 if the player has a perfect memory.
Current features:
- Deck of cards randomized to a number
- Colored numbers to help memorize
- Finishing a deck within moves are less than the number of cards (2*n) would progress the level
- Revealed cards display the number of times they were flipped
Features planned:
- Different modes
- Tutorial
- Proper menu
- Game stats and user data
It's a nice gesture to make something like this for your parent.
What's the reason you choose Bevy game engine specifically? and where to find it?
that it is
ECS is more like an electronic system (my day job is electronic design verification) and could understand the ECS concepts easily.
