Xmobet

Slot machine simulator designed for use in menubars. Originally intended for xmobar, hence the name.

Installation

cargo install xmobet

Or like everything else with git:

git clone https://github.com/impossibletea/xmobet.git
cd xmobet
cargo install --path .

Usage

Getting your bar to recognize it

Xmobar:

Config
  { template = "}<action=`killall -SIGCONT xmobet` button=1><action=`killall -SIGUSR1 xmobet` button=4><action=`killall -SIGUSR2 xmobet` button=5><action=`killall -SIGINT xmobet` button=3>%xmobet%</action></action></action></action>{"
  , commands = 
    [ Run CommandReader "~/.cargo/bin/xmobet" "xmobet"
    ]
  }

For other bars you'll have to figure it out yourself.

Actual usage

Since it is made for bars rather than stdin, it makes use of signals.

SIGCONT: Roll the slots, get money for combinations.

SIGUSR{1,2}: Increase or decrease bet.

SIGINT: Show current balance.

Configuration

Default config on linux is ~/.config/xmobet/config.toml. Structure (with default values) is as follows:

drums = 5
symbols = '7JQKA'
init_balance = 100
init_bet = 5
bet_inc = 1
