• curseofrust-msg: Curseofwar messaging protocol implementation.
• curseofrust-cli-parser: Simple CLI arguments parser for curseofrust.

Platforms

• curseofrust-console: TUI/CLI implementation. Supports multiplayer.
• curseofrust-gui-cocoa: GUI implementation based on Cocoa for macOS. Currently does not support multiplayer. It is now hosted here.
• curseofrust-server: The dedicated server implementation with a CLI interface.

Protocols

Curseofrust supports following networking protocols:

• udp: Fully compatible with curseofwar protocol.

Legacy Mac OS X Compilation Guide

On legacy Mac OS X (10.11 and lower), follow these steps:

1. Get git, rust, legacy-support, and a recent version of clang (eg. clang-18) via Macports.
2. In Cargo's config.toml, set the linker to clang (instead of system ld64) and statically link to MacportsLegacySupport. It is recommended to enable net.git-fetch-with-cli as well.
3. Build and run just like any other Rust projects.

Below is an example config.toml:

[target.x86_64-apple-darwin]
linker = "clang"
rustflags = [
    "-C", "link-arg=-mmacosx-version-min=10.8",
    "-C", "link-arg=/opt/local/lib/libMacportsLegacySupport.a",
]

[net]
git-fetch-with-cli = true
