Delve is a minecraft clone written entirely in Rust. Its purpose is to allow me to experiment with game engine and game design code without worrying too much about graphics.
As well as Rust & Cargo (head over here to install it), I use a couple of tools to help with building and documentation. These tools will need to be installed:
| Tool | How to install | Description |
|-|-|
| Just | cargo install just
| Task runner to help build and read docs |
| mdbook-mermaid | cargo install mdbook-mermaid
| Allows cool diagrams inside the docs |
You can read the documentation by typing the command just read
. This will
build the code documentation and the Mdbook and open up tabs in your default
browser. The Mdbook will provide much information on how the game works and
even the dev-diary.
You build and run the game in the normal way:
$ cargo run --release
Don't you love Rust tooling?
