Crate slowchop_console

slowchop_console

A Quake style console and log plugin for Bevy.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

This was rushed out for the Bevy Jam, and only tested on macOS. Not recommended to use, unless you’re willing to help fix it up. 😅

Features

• Uses bevy_ui for rendering.
• A console that can be opened and closed with a keypress.
• Captures all bevy (tracing) log messages and displays them in the console.
• Colorizes log messages depending on log level.
• Uses an enum as the possible actions. (“Commands” IMO is a better term but that’s taken by Bevy.)
  • Enum supports floats, integers, strings, bools, and Vec of those types.
  • Optional arguments work, which must be after any non-optional arguments.
  • Actions are validated against the enum.
• Actions executed are emitted as an event.

Actions Enum

use bevy::prelude::Event;
use slowchop_console::Actions;

#[derive(Actions, Event)]
enum MyGameActions {
   Quit,
   Spawn(f32, f32, f32, Option<String>),
}

This will create a quit action that takes no arguments. The spawn action takes 3 floats, and optionally a String.
