Description

Terrustaria is going to be a simplified Rust implementation of well known game - Terraria.

Features

• generating unique world maps
• moving and mining
• collecting items in equipment
• crafting new items
• building new structures
• different types of blocks (water, coal, copper etc.)
• optional - combat system

Plan

First part:

• creating block types
• generating world maps
• adding a player and an option to move
• player is able to mine now

Second part:

• saving and loading a game
• main menu
• adding and removing items from the equipment
• building new structures from collected items
• crafting new items from collected ones
• combat system (optional)

Libraries

• Bevy
• bevy_ecs_tilemap library (https://github.com/StarArawn/bevy_ecs_tilemap)
• Serde for serialization.

What we realized in the first part:

• creating block types - we implemented the way it should work, can be extended by changing graphics and using texture containers

• generating world maps - we implemented basic random map generation, can be extended by spawning resources in groups and by spawning caves. We also managed to create a wall map and prepare a space for building in the next part.

• adding a player and an option to move - after hours spent with colliders, we managed to add them to map and player, they do collide, unfortunately camera does not follow player, and player kinda flies. Extension options: make it work as intended.

• player is able to mine now - we managed to implement highlighting the tiles, the next steps are: highlight them in range of a player, and destroy tiles that are in the range of the player.

• After launching the game, using arrows you can steer our cool player, and using WASD, Z, X you can view the map (option for debug). Right now colliders projection can be seen, this is also a debug option.

What we realized in the second part:

• improved map randomization
  • improved algorithm
  • added caves generator
• fixed colliders - they have proper size now and work almost as intended
• changed graphics - we changed the graphics to be more similar to the original game
• destructing the blocks
  • with animation
  • within player range
• implemented intended player movement
  • now we can move left, right
  • using space we can jump!
• camera follows the player
• tiles are initially covered, player uncover tiles by moving in their direction

How to run the game

• Just cargo run
• In case you need debug information:
  cargo build --features "debug" && cargo run --features "debug"
  Note that it may lead to decrease in app's performance.
• Now to steer our even cooler player use A, D, SPACE
• We left 2 debug options:
  • [commented in main] colliders projection can be seen
  • [commented in main] camera movement with Arrows and Z,X for zoom
