🕹️ Nostalgia meets Rust!

I completely rebuilt the original Angry Birds 1.2.0 (2010) for Windows from scratch!

After weeks of reverse-engineering and learning, the project is finally fully playable. I wanted to see how a classic physics-based mobile game would perform when rewritten in a modern systems language like Rust.

🚀 Key Technical Features:

• Physics Engine: Powered by Rapier2D with a strict fixed 60Hz timestep (meaning towers will never randomly collapse due to frame drops!).
• Asset Preservation: Extracted all original sprite sheets, PVR/PNG textures, bitmap fonts, and audio tracks directly from the original 1.2.0.ipa archive.
• Content Complete: All 105 original levels across 5 classic chapters (Poached Eggs, Mighty Hoax, Danger Above, The Big Setup, Ham 'Em High) are fully playable.
• Modern QoL: Added height-fit framing, free zoom out to 0.25x, and manual camera panning.

This is an unofficial fan project made purely for educational and game preservation purposes.

The installer is self-contained for Windows and requires no admin rights.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the physics architecture or any optimization tips for Rust game loops! Let me know what you think!
