Amethyst 2D Starter
This project template will get you from 0 to drawing something on the screen in no time. If you're looking for a more in-depth introduction to the engine, please have a look at [our book](https://book.amethyst.rs/stable/)!
## Quickstart
- Clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/amethyst/amethyst-starter-2d.git
cd amethyst-starter-2d
```
- Build and run the project
```bash
cargo run
```
#### For Mac Users
This starter uses vulkan as a renderer by default. You'll want to change the backend to use `metal`, which can be done by opening the `Cargo.toml` file and changing
```toml
[features]
default = ["vulkan"]
```
to
```toml
[features]
default = ["metal"]
```
#### For Linux Users
You might need to install some dependencies. Please refer to [this section](https://github.com/amethyst/amethyst#dependencies) of the README for more details.
## Features
This project contains the minimum amount of code needed to draw sprites to the screen. Here's a small summary of what you'll find in the source files:
- `resources/display_config.ron`
Contains the window configuration (size, title).
- `src/main.rs`
Creates the render graph, adds the required bundles, builds the game data with our own state and finally, starts the game's main event loop.
- `src/render.rs`
Configures the RenderGraph, which defines draw passes, color formats and so on.
- `src/state.rs`
Implements the main game state. In the `on_start` hook, the camera is initialized, and the sprites that will be drawn are loaded and their entities created.
In the `handle_event` hook, we print any keys that were pressed and close the window if the user presses escape or the OS requests that we quit.
