Bartog

This is a single player only implementation of Bartog, A.K.A. Bartok, A.K.A. Warthog.

See the included rules folder for more info on the game, but essentially it's Crazy Eights but if you win a round, you get to pick a new rule that applies to future rounds.

Because of the extremely flexible nature of Bartog, in some sense this project may never be truly complete. It is presented here in its current form, and I make no promises about where it will eventually get.

You can play the live version of the latest release build here.

I have also made a version of "plain" Crazy Eights, the live version of which can be played here.

WASM version

Running locally

1. Install Rust via rustup.rs.

2. Install WebAssembly target:

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

3. Start dev server:

cargo run-wasm bartog --release

4. Visit http://localhost:8000 with your browser.

Extra build options

These extra features can be adding then to the run-wasm features flag. Note that these are comma separated. For instance to activate invariant-checking and logging you can run:

cargo run-wasm bartog --release --features invariant-checking,logging

Desktop

The desktop version attempts to be cross platform. Only Linux and Windows have been tested at this time.

Building/Running

1. Install Rust via rustup.rs.

2. Build via cargo

cargo build --release --bin bartog

3. Run the executable

./target/release/bartog

Linux specific notes

When building the Linux version, some additional packages may be needed to support building the alsa library this program uses for sound, on Linux. On Ubuntu, these packages can be installed as follows:

sudo apt install libasound2-dev pkg-config

If you don't care about sound you can build with the enabled-by-default "non-web-sound" feature flag turned off:

cargo build --release --bin bartog --no-default-features

Wayland

As of this writing, a library that this program uses does not allow specifying that parts of the screen need to be redrawn, on Wayland. For now, you can run the executable with the WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND environment variable set to "x11" as a workaround.

WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND="x11" ./target/release/bartog

Feature flags

invariant-checking

With this enabled violations of certain invariants will result in a panic. These checks are disabled in default mode since (presumably) a player would prefer the game doing something weird to outright crashing.

logging

Enables additional generic logging. With this feature disabled, the logs will be compiled out, leaving no appreciable run-time overhead.

non-web-sound

Enables sound when not building for the web. On by default.
