Note that you may need to run cargo update to pull some dependency updates. If you are coming from Hands-on Rust, the code is maintained here

You can read a tutorial series on writing a Roguelike with this library at: https://bfnightly.bracketproductions.com/rustbook/

Bracket-lib is the primary support library for my book, Hands-on Rust. Please consider checking out my book.

Early work has begun on writing a manual. You can find it in the manual folder, or read it online.

BREAKING CHANGE ALERT: The crossterm feature is now cross_term if you are using bracket-terminal directly. It's still crossterm for bracket-lib and rltk.

IMPORTANT: If you are running the webgpu backend, you need to add resolver = 2 to your Cargo.toml file. WGPU requires it for platform selection.

This is RLTK, renamed because it is increasingly finding usage outside of just Roguelikes. It's also been divided into a number of crates, to make it easy to pick-and-choose the features you need.

• rltk crate wraps bracket-lib and re-exports in the rltk:: and rltk::prelude namespace. This preserves compatibility with all existing RLTK projects.
• bracket-algorithm-traits exposes the traits required for the various algorithm systems in other crates.
• bracket-color is my RGB/HSV color management system.
• bracket-geometry exposes various geometric primitives and helpers. Supports other crates.
• bracket-noise is a port of Auburn's FastNoise to Rust.
• bracket-pathfinding provides a high-performance A* (A-Star) pathing system, as well as Dijkstra maps.
• bracket-random is a dice-oriented random number generator, including parsing of RPG-style dice strings such as 3d6+12.

In your Cargo.toml file, include:

[dependencies]
bracket-lib = "~0.8"

There are a few feature flags designed to aide integration with other systems:

• specs tells various bracket-lib sub-systems to export important primitives as having Specs' Component type applied.
• serde tells various bracket-lib sub-systems to support using Serde for serialization/de-serialization.

Performance:

• threaded enables multi-threading on some sub-systems.

Terminal mode:

By default, bracket-lib runs in OpenGL mode (or WebGL if it detects that you are compiling for wasm32-unknown-unknown). If you want to use other rendering back-ends, disable default features and apply one of the following feature flags:

• webgpu to use the wgpu system as a back-end, supporting Vulkan, Metal and WebGPU.
• crossterm to use the excellent Crossterm terminal library.
• curses to use pancurses for ncurses or pdcurses support depending upon your platform.
