wolkenwelten / wolkenwelten-c

Fast-paced Multiplayer Voxel Survival Game in C, includes a custom Lisp dialect.

WolkenWelten

WolkenWelten tries to be an action-packed voxel rogue-lite, with a flexible engine that allows mods to extend or completely alter the game.

To accomplish this it combines a custom graphics engine written in Rust with the V8 JavaScript engine.

Everything is still very experimental, and it's more of a proof of concept rather than a finished game, to keep up with development you can read the devlog for short summaries including lots of screenshots.

During development focus has been put into supporting low-end devices like the Raspberry pi 4(00), because of that it should run at ~60FPS in 720p, and ~30-40 in 1080p.

If you want to chat, have a question or would like to contribute then the most direct way would be either Matrix or Discord.

How to build it

You need a complete rust toolchain installed that supports Rust 2021 (1.56+), for example via rustup. After that executing the cargo run --release command should build and run the game.

Linux

In addition to a Rust toolchain, you need to install a couple of system header files using your distributions package manager:

Arch Linux

pacman -S base-devel alsa-lib fontconfig freetype2

Debian / Ubuntu / Raspberry Pi OS

apt-get install build-essential libasound2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev

wolkenwelten-c's Issues

can't play "Server timed out"

every time i try to play it appears server timed out

upload.mp4

No instructions to build for i686 machines

while building despite having all dependencies I still get this message;
make: *** No rule to make target 'common/src/asm/i686.o', needed by 'wolkenwelten'. Stop.

MacOS: I can't move my cursor outside the game window.

So I open the game. I press escape to view my cursor, and I go to click the green button to make the game go fullscreen. Now for some reason I cannot move the cursor outside the window. I have to close the game. Fortunately if I switch apps by using cmd+tab. I can use my mouse elsewhere, it's just a bit annoying.
