I've been playing Magic the Gathering with my friends a bunch lately and they were complaining that Magic the Gathering Arena "holds your hand" too much. I've been wanting to try some game development lately so I figured "why not?"
I am now beginning to understand the answer to my own question (seriously, look how many rules there are)
But I'm in too deep and having too much fun with it so, onwards we march.
After a few days of writing this in TypeScript, I realized this would be a great way to learn Rust. So I started porting over what I'd already done in TypeScript to Rust. And it's been going great so far- but there's a lot still left to do.
If you wanna check it out, you can install the Typescript version by cloning the repo
and running just running npm install. It uses next so to run it you can just run npm run dev to check it out.
If you wanna check out the Rust version which is WAY faster (the json file this uses for data is 12mb; it was originally
56mb but thanks to my formatAtomicData script I got rid of a bunch of data I wouldn't need), go install rust
and then run npm run rust:install from the root directory of this project.
After that you can run npm run rust to check it out. (it only exists in the terminal in rust as of right now.)
To run rust tests npm run rust:test
