game development using the Amethyst game engine in Rust

Purpose

Create a focused, opinionated fighting game engine from Amethyst.

Initial support goals for the project are.

  • Enable Rollback netcode for online play
  • Regardless of online play, enable time-travel-like mechanics
• Easy to create games from
  • Add character assets
  • Add move sets for characters
• Proof of concept
  • A fighting game using the engine designed above

Running locally

Due to a workaround since conditional features aren't supported yet (rust-lang/cargo#7914) features are used to choose which OS you want this to compile on, and the appropriate dependencies will be used.

# Linux, this is the default so nothing extra is needed
cargo run --release
# Fedora uses wayland, so use this to fallback to x11 until https://github.com/amethyst/space-menace/issues/32 is resolved
WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND=x11 cargo run --release

# Windows
cargo run --release --features windows --no-default-features

# Mac OS
cargo run --release --features mac --no-default-features
