# The Rusty Console Game Engine


A Rust port of the [olcConsoleGameEngine](https://github.com/OneLoneCoder/Javidx9/blob/master/ConsoleGameEngine/olcConsoleGameEngine.h). Make simple retro-style console games directly in the terminal, with an API closely matching the original C++ engine.

⚠️ Currently works only on Windows 10/11. ⚠️

## ✨ Features

- Basic Console Rendering (text, colors, and shapes)
- Sprites (.spr format)
- Keyboard & mouse input

## 🛠 Roadmap

- [x] Publish to crates.io (available [here](https://crates.io/crates/rusty_console_game_engine))
- [x] Documentation
- [ ] Audio support
- [ ] Image → sprite converter
- [ ] Cross-platform support

## 🚀 Quickstart


Add the engine to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
rusty_console_game_engine = "0.1.1"
```

Then create a game:
```rust
use rusty_console_game_engine::*;

struct Demo;

impl ConsoleGame for Demo {
    fn create(&mut self, _engine: &mut ConsoleGameEngine<Self>) -> bool {
        true
    }

    fn update(&mut self, engine: &mut ConsoleGameEngine<Self>, _elapsed_time: f32) -> bool {
        engine.clear(FG_BLACK);
        engine.fill_circle(engine.mouse_x(), engine.mouse_y(), 5);

        true
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut engine = ConsoleGameEngine::new(Demo);
    engine.set_app_name("Example");
    engine.construct_console(150, 150, 4, 4);
    engine.start();
}
```
To see more typical use cases of the engine, check out the `examples`!
