🐋 Whale Simulator 🐋

Whale Simulator is a terminal game written in Rust where you are a whale and you have to avoid pesky fishing boats whilst snacking on delicious krill.

Why?

concept: a whale simulator where you’re just trying to keep fed while avoiding the boats with harpoons

score counter is your krill/death ratio

Warnings

• Whale Simulator was written for Rust 1.57.0. It may not build under older versions of Rust.
• Whale Simulator has only been tested in Gnome Terminal. It might lag or not work at all on other terminals. Try passing lower values in --tick-rate if it lags.
• Whale Simulator lacks a unified entity management system so its logic is a bit spaghetti.
• Whale Simulator does not handle window resize events. Don't resize your terminal or it will break.
• Whale Simulator uses .unwrap() everywhere when writing to stdout which is horrible but it is unlikely to fail.

Contributing

Please don't. This isn't a serious project. It was written in one night as a joke. I don't want to actually maintain this.
