Sorry if imgur sucks. I don't know a better option.
It takes over 282 crates to build this 1000 lines of code. It takes 1.3 gigs of space to display a window with a game on one's screen. And the AI does not work at all since it just crashes in itself. I'm not sure how this can be a good example of a program written in Rust. Rust is all about low-level optimized over-speedy small-sized binaries. Right now I see just a blob of something that barely works.
And yes, Light Cycle is in fact just a version of a Snake with a different ruleset.
In the single player mode, the computer is not so intelligent. So initially i just kept winning without understanding what was happening.
Did some more fixes and then it was running. The game looks really fun but the AI player is always losing by himself too quickly.
1. AI Self-Crashing Bug - Increased collision buffer zones and improved trail detection
2. Linux Dependencies - Added comprehensive installation instructions for Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch
Improvements Made:
- AI now skips 30 recent trail points (up from 10) to avoid self-collision
- Increased look-ahead distances for all difficulty levels
- Fixed trail collision detection in pathfinding
- Added full Linux dependency documentation
The AI should now survive much longer and provide a better challenge. And thank you for the two PR's!I did something similar in 6502 assembly a long while back and it fit into less than a kilobyte of code..

Either screenshots or a gif would be nice.
