wgpu branch

Highly experimental very early work-in-progress wgpu version of Kubi!


Status: doesn't even compile

If you want to play kubi, build the glium-based master branch instead (binary nightly releases).

Android is not supported

android builds need some significant changes to work with wgpu
but if you still want to try it latest git version of cargo-apk may be required:

cargo install --git https://github.com/rust-mobile/cargo-apk cargo-apk

download

build for windows/linux

build/run

cargo build --bin kubi
cargo run --bin kubi

cargo +nightly build --bin kubi --features nightly --release

build for android

please note that android support is highly experimental!
gamepad, mouse input is currently borked, and proper touch controls are not available.
srgb and blending are broken too, which leads to many rendering issues

prerequisites: Android SDK, command line tools, NDK, platform-tools, latest JDK
(make sure that your $PATH variable is configured properly)

Setup:

cargo install cargo-apk
cargo target add aarch64-linux-android

Build:

--no-default-features is required for keyboard input!
(prefer-raw-events feature must be disabled on android)

Mouse input is not implemented, touch only!

cargo apk build -p kubi --no-default-features

Run:

cargo apk run -p kubi --no-default-features

touch controls

touch control scheme
  • Left side: Movement
  • Rigth side: Camera controls
  • Bottom right corner:
    • B (e.g. place blocks)
    • A (e.g. break, attack)

[server]
address = "0.0.0.0:12345"     # ip address to bind to
max_clients = 32              # max amount of connected clients
timeout_ms = 10000            # client timeout in ms

[world]
seed = 0xfeb_face_dead_cafe   # worldgen seed to use

[query]
