A/B Street Instructions
General disclaimer: This is a very rough demo. The user interface is clunky, and gameplay is not cohesively tied together yet. Please email dabreegster@gmail.com or file a Github issue if you hit problems.
Installing the game from pre-built binaries
- Windows: https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.15/abstreet_windows.zip
- Mac: https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.15/abstreet_mac.zip
- Linux: https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.15/abstreet_linux.zip
Unzip the folder, then run play_abstreet.sh
or play_abstreet.bat
. On
Windows, you'll probably get a warning about running software from an unknown
publisher.
Playing the game
General controls:
- Click and drag to move
- Scroll wheel or touchpad to zoom
- Menus should work as expected. Most actions have a keybinding.
- You can hover over an object and right-click to see more actions.
Things to try:
- In sandbox mode, hover over an intersection, right click, and spawn agents. Then you can start the simulation by pressing space or clicking the icon.
- To run a realistic, full day's worth of traffic, go to sandbox mode, then "start a scenario" (hotkey s) and choose the "weekday_typical_traffic" entry. Time (shown in the top-right corner) starts at midnight. Things tend to get interesting around 6am -- use the speed controls in the top-left. Try zooming in for details, and zooming out to see an overview.
- Go to edit mode (note this will reset the simulation). Pick a lane, right click, and change it to another type. You can also change which roads see a stop sign by right clicking the intersection, choosing to edit, hovering over a stop sign, and pressing space to toggle it. You can do the same for intersections with traffic signals.
- Go back to the main menu and pick a challenge. Should be self-explanatory from there -- leave me feedbck if not.
For developers: Compiling from source
To build, you need a Linux-like environment with bash
, wget
, unzip
, etc.
You also osmconvert
for the import script. At runtime if you want to use the
screen-capture plugin, you need scrot
.
-
Install Rust, at least 1.38. https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
-
Download the repository:
git clone https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet.git
-
Download all input data and build maps. Compilation times will be very slow the first time.
cd abstreet; ./import.sh && ./precompute.sh --release
-
Then run the game:
cd game; cargo run --release
