Build from source

macOS, Linux

# Run the game
cargo run --package game

# Run the game in creative mode to build levels
cargo run --package game creative

Cross-Compile from macOS for Windows

# Setup
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
brew install mingw-w64

# Build
cargo build --package game --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

iOS and Android

The engine is the same, the rendering is a simple set of custom views for the game itself, menus and such

The game_core create is compiled via cargo-lipo and cargo-ndk, bindings are generated using cbindgen.

cargo install cargo-lipo
cargo install cargo-ndk # Requires getting the Android NDK
cargo install cbindgen

rustup target add x86_64-apple-ios
rustup target add aarch64-apple-ios
rustup target add armv7-linux-androideabi
rustup target add aarch64-linux-android
rustup target add i686-linux-android
rustup target add x86_64-linux-android

The build_all.sh script will build game_core, compile all resources and copy them to the correct folders for both mobile projects.

sh scripts/build_all.sh

Windows

The project uses Raylib, so there are some extra steps after setting up Rust.

Personally (but I have no idea what I'm doing and haven't used a windows machine in 10+ years) I did the following:

1. Installed CMake from here
2. Added CMake to path
3. Installed LLVM via winget install LLVM.LLVM
4. cargo run --package game
