Rust Roguelike

A rogue-like game, implemented in Rust, with the specs ECS library, and rltk roguelike toolkit.

Rust Setup

Follow the instructions on the Getting Started page of the Rust language website.You should then have rustup and cargo available in your terminal. If you want to run on a Raspberry Pi, or via WebAssembly, you will also need make.

Running the game

For most setups, cargo run or make run.
For the Raspberry Pi: make run-pi

WebAssembly Build

Install the WebAssembly target via rustup: rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
Install wasm-bindgen: cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli
Run make build-wasm
Serve the wasm folder with a web server (wasm will not work straight from the html file)

Makefile

If you want to see what else you can run with Makefile, run make help. This will list commands and what they do.

Changes from tutorial

Added a macro to register components for specs, like was in the tutorial for saving/loading.
Game state machine is moved to src/state.rs
Colors (Bracket-lib RGB struct) have been converted to static values in src/colors.rs, to cut down on boilerplate and numbers of ways of generating color values.
All references to rltk have been converted to bracket_lib, as rltk was a facade in bracket_lib
