copper.rs

Copper.rs is a simple library for 2D games written in Rust targeting HTML5.

Usage in a webpage

To use copper.rs in a webpage, first write your project code using the copper.rs-crate make it have crate-type = ["cdylib", "rlib"], make it depend on wasm-bindgen = "0.2" and build it using wasm-pack for --target web.

(example for a lib.rs)

use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;

#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn start() {
    // code to run on start here
}

#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn frame() {
    // code to run on frame here
}

Then, when built, a directory with a .wasm-file and a <crate-name>.js (and other files) will be generated. Make this folder accessible to your webpage, as well as copper.js (download the file directly from the lastest release from the repository).

(example for your webpage)

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <script src="copper.js"></script> <!-- the downloaded copper.js -->
        <script>
            // load the generated game WASM and run it
            copperStartWasm("./pkg/<crate-name>.js"); // change "./pkg/<crate-name>.js" to the actual name of the file
        </script>
    </head>
    <!-- "touch-action: none;" disables multi-touch gestures -->
    <body style="margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; touch-action: none;">
        <!-- make the canvas fill the entire screen -->
        <canvas id="game_canvas" style="width: 100vw; height: 100vh;"></canvas>
    </body>
</html>
