 This implementation is being archived... I took too long of a break and don't want to get back into it.

The dream is not over yet though. Battlefield is the continuation of this project.

Paper Wars (official name TBD)

Build your own strategy game with Paper Wars. Design worlds complete with units, maps and even unique behaviours.

Does this work?

No.

Status

This project is currently on hold, as I develop Lumber which I hope can be used as the scripting language to implement the components of this game. I hope to successfully build Root using Lumber before continuing here, as that is a smaller scale at which to try out the language and work out the kinks.

Developing

To start developing Paper Wars, clone this repository and the submodules.

git clone git@github.com:foxfriends/paper-wars --recursive

You will probably want to git checkout master on each of the submodules before developing, so that your commits end up on a branch.

git submodule foreach git checkout master

Rust projects

The Rust projects use the standard Rust setup, with Cargo.

Due to various version compatibility issues, a lot of the crates in use here are just pointing at the master branch of their respective repositories or forks, rather than an actual release. Expect builds to randomly fail sometimes when these dependencies get updated.

Setup steps:

Install Rust with rustup.
Use cargo to build/run the project.
- cargo build
- cargo run

Web projects

The web projects are actually also using Rust, and compiled for web using WASM. Therefore, both Rust and JavaScript environments must be set up for this to work.

Install Rust with rustup.
Install Node.js (optionally with nvm or your favourite version manager).
Install [wasm-pack][]: cargo install wasm-pack.
Install NPM dependencies: npm install
Use npm to build/run the project.
- npm run build
- npm run watch
- `npm start
