A triangle minesweeper game in Rust.
By porting the earlier C version i wrote years ago, I'm doing some early research into both how to write applications with Rust, and how to design a GUI toolkit in pure Rust. Currently the backend is Microsoft-technology oriented, so the program is Windows-only. Backends for other OSes might be coming next.
Make sure you're using Rust windows msvc toolchain and target. Run
cargo install --git https://github.com/crlf0710/charlesmine-rs
Theorically you can also build this with exactly the same command with windows gnu toolchain and target,
however you'll need to get yourself windres.exe and put its directory in PATH.
You can check your configuration with windres --version before you
run cargo install to see whether the tool is available.
The implementation is quite modular. Several libraries that developed along with it can be used independently. Check them out:
- APIW-rs: Safe interfaces for Windows API. Window creation, message handling, GDI drawing, etc.
- RESW-rs: Create executable resources (icons, menus, dialogs) from Rust code in
build.rs. - concerto-rs: Small state machine that manages complex ui action details.
- domino-rs: Rust application separation of concern (SoC) experiment. Organize code as MVC components and communiate using messages.
