Build a spaceship out of ASCII Symbols and fight in a 2 Player deathmatch.

Setup Bevy to run in the browser

• On Linux:

  rustup target install wasm32-unknown-unknown
  
  cargo install wasm-pack
  
  sudo apt-get install npm wasm-bindgen lld
  
      or sudo pacman -S lld
  
  cargo install wasm-server-runner
  
  cargo install cargo-watch
  
  curl https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/installer/init.sh -sSf | sudo sh
  
  # (Optional) Install the signalling server
  cargo install matchbox_server
  

• On Windows (WSL):

  rustup target install wasm32-unknown-unknown
  
  cargo install wasm-pack
  
  sudo apt-get install npm wasm-bindgen
  
  cargo install wasm-server-runner
  
  cargo install cargo-watch
  
  curl https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/installer/init.sh -sSf | sh
  
  cargo install matchbox_server
  
  cargo install -f cargo-binutils 
  
  rustup component add llvm-tools-preview
  

Client: Run a development build

• Start the wasm-server-runner:

  cargo run --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
  

• Open a browser tab at 127.0.0.1:1334 (or whatever the port is).

• Run the signalling server locally:

  matchbox_server
  

Multiple tabs can connect to the wasm-server-runner, which means you can run multiple clients on the same machine.

Client: Run tests

wasm-pack test --headless --firefox

Client: Build a release

wasm-pack build --release --target bundler --out-dir target/bundle

FAQ

My ships don't move when I open two tabs!

This is a known bug with the ship detection algorithm. It will work with multi windows and real 2 player scenarios.
