I wanted to learn how to use the Amethyst Game Engine and improve my rust, so I decided to implement a game that I fondly remember from my childhood: Spacewar!.

Spacewar! has the honour of also being one of the very first computer game ever written, so it seems like a logical place to start when learning to use a game engine.

Built with the Amethyst Game Engine and the Rust programming language.
