BonsaiDen/rts.rs

An oldschool RTS game prototype

rts.rs - An oldschool RTS game prototype

Note: Requires rust >=1.19.0 release due to use of HashMap::retain.

Quick start

Singleplayer

cd game
cargo run 

Use WASD to scroll the map and LeftMouse to "chuck" down trees or rocks.

Multiplayer

Host

cd game
cargo run -- $PORT -m $MIN_PLAYERS_TO_START

Client(s)

cd game
cargo run -- $PORT --addr $HOST_ADDRESS

Current Features

• Lockstepped, peer-to-peer network protocol with automatic host migration
• gfx-rs based tiled map rendering based on .tsm and .tsx files
• Support for terrain types and "reflow" (basically you can chuck down trees and the surrounding tiles adjust correctly)

Next Steps

Game

• Build a sprite renderer

• Initial unit abstraction

  • Selection
  • Command Queue

• Start work on path finding

• Concept for fog of war

• Concept for encapuslating command inputs for network transmission

• Concept for interpolating local positions between ticks and rendererd frames

  • Keep in mind that multiple ticks might be executed at once in order to compensate for high network RTT

Clockwork

• Fix rare, random local time out when migrating and starting a new host locally
• Implement state checksum and comparison to abort de-synced games
