Vision

The initial vision of the project is:

Random-based skirmish-level digital tabletop game;
Single player only;
3-6 fighters under player’s control;
Small unscrollable maps;
Relatively short game session (under an hour);
Simple vector 2d graphics with just 3-5 sprites per unit;
Reaction attacks and action’s interruption;
Highly dynamic (lots of small unit moves as a side effect of other events);
Intentionally stupid and predictable AI;

Roadmap

Inspiration

Tactical battle mechanics are mostly inspired by these games:

Building from Source

# Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/ozkriff/zemeroth
cd zemeroth

# Assets are stored in a separate repo.
# Zemeroth expects them to be in `assets` directory.
git clone https://github.com/ozkriff/zemeroth_assets assets

# Compile a release version (debug builds give low FPS at the moment)
cargo build --release

# Run it
cargo run --release

WebAssembly

cargo install cargo-web
./utils/wasm/build.sh
cargo web start

Then open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

The WASM version of the game uses not-fl3/good-web-game:

Note that good-web-game is not really GGEZ's backend, but a separate web-targeted engine with a similar API that @not-fl3 uses for his prototypes.

Zemeroth uses good-web-game for its web version as a quick-n-dirty immediate solution until a proper WASM support arrives to GGEZ (there're no plans of making good-web-game some kind of official GGEZ backend).

The currently implemented subset of GGEZ API is quite limited and while it may be used for something else that Zemeroth, it will probably require a lot of work to do (contributions are welcome ;) ).

Dependencies

The key external dependency of Zemeroth is ggez game engine.

This repo contains a bunch of helper crates:

zcomponents is a simple component storage
ggwp-zgui is a simple and opinionated ggez-based GUI library
ggwp-zscene is a simple scene and declarative animation manager
