A super simple attempt at a multiplayer web game :) Filled to the brim with slightly poor decisions and a can-do spirit 🥲
This project exists as the biggest challenge in my journey to understand websockets and asynchronous Rust as a whole. I aimed to create a game similar to The Battle Cats minus any of the charm.
The server state is written entirely in Rust, spawning 2 distinct Tokio tasks for handling the HTTP server and the WebSocket-Associated Game states. A LazyLock<Vec<Unit<'_>>> backed "deck" is used to initialize a static vector of all available Units, which is created from a static slice of json strings created based on the unit files in the /units directory. This is compiled in the build.rs script any time the project is built or run, so if you want to add more units yourself just create some new unit files :)
