Maeve

Maeve is an interpreter for text-based games. The end goal is support for a community-made game based on the Westworld TV series.

How to build the game:

Go to the Rust website and download Rust.

This project is being developed with nightly rust so you'll need to set it up:

$ rustup install nightly
$ rustup default nightly

compile with

$ cargo build  

Once you've completed the above instructions the game should now be ready to run with:

$ cargo run    

Building with Docker:

Run:

$ docker build . -t DOCKER_USER_NAME/maeve:latest

Access access the container with:

$ docker run -it DOCKER_USER_NAME/maeve:latest sh

In theory, the rust protobuf compiler should be autodownloaded for you and provisioned. The current game relies of Protobuf3; exisiting compilers may not support this. For reference, please see the PROST! page for details.

When starting a new game, you will be asked which file you would like to load, currently the file you should choose is:

games/game_design.pb

After you have selected your file, the game will ask you where you would like to create a new save file; you can save it wherever you like.
