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
The easiest method is to use pre-built binaries. Check https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases for the latest version, though I'll try to keep these links up-to-date:
- Linux: https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.9/abstreet_linux.zip
- Windows: https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.9/abstreet_windows.zip
- Mac (old; I don't have regular access to a Mac to compile): https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/releases/download/v0.1.6/abstreet_mac.zip
Compiling from source
To build, you need a Linux-like environment with bash
, wget
, unzip
, etc.
You also osmosis
for the import script. At runtime if you want to use the
screen-capture plugin, you need scrot
.
-
Install Rust, at least 1.31. 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 at first.
cd abstreet; ./import.sh && ./precompute.sh --release
If you build from source, you won't have the convenient launcher scripts referenced below. Instead:
cd editor
cargo run --release
Running the game
Start the game by running play_abstreet.sh
or play_abstreet.bat
. On Windows,
you'll probably get a warning about running software from an unknown publisher.
General controls:
- Click and drag to move
- Scroll wheel or touchpad to zoom
- Follow on-screen controls otherwise. You can also try hovering over an object and right-clicking to see more actions. (These controls will show up more clearly soon.)
