Amethyst

Experimental data-oriented game engine written in Rust. This project is a work in progress and very incomplete; pardon the dust!

Documentation

Read the associated online book for a comprehensive tutorial to using Amethyst. There is also an online crate-level API reference.

Building Locally

You can build the book locally with:

cargo install mdbook mdbook build book

The text can be found in book/html/index.html. To generate the API documentation locally, do:

cargo doc

The API reference can be found in target/doc/amethyst/index.html.

Hello, World!

Create a new Cargo binary project with cargo new --bin crate_name and add the following lines to your "Cargo.toml":

toml [dependencies.amethyst] git = "https://github.com/ebkalderon/amethyst.git" branch = "master"

Then, in your "main.rs", type or copy and paste the following code:

```rust extern crate amethyst;

use amethyst::{Application, Duration, State};

struct HelloWorld;

impl State for HelloWorld { fn new() -> HelloWorld { HelloWorld }

fn on_start(&mut self) {
    println!("Begin!");
}

fn update(&mut self, _delta: Duration) {
    println!("Hello from Amethyst!");
    std::process::exit(0);
}

fn on_stop(&mut self) {
    println!("End!");
}

}

fn main() { let mut game = Application::new(HelloWorld); game.run(); } ```

Compile and run the example with cargo run. You should see "Hello from Amethyst!" print out to the terminal and abruptly exit.
