## Contributors welcome!

Rhex is looking for contributors. See

[Contributing page](https://github.com/dpc/rhex/wiki/Contributing)

for details.

## Introduction

Simple ASCII terminal hexagonal map  roguelike written in [Rust][rust-home].

You can try the game without installing anything. Check

[rhex demo server](https://github.com/dpc/rhex/wiki/Demo-server) instructions.

The core goal of the project:

* ASCI/Unicode pure terminal UI first

* hexagonal map with tactical positioning

It's also intendent to exercise and practice my [Rust][rust-home] knowledge.

Previous iteration of this idea was/is: [Rustyhex][rustyhex] . This two project

might merge into whole at some point.

Rhex is using [hex2d-rs - Hexagonal grid map utillity library][hex2d-rs].

## Overview

Watch *rhex* gameplay video:

## Running

Game requires terminal with 256 colors support, and Unicode font.

	git clone https://github.com/dpc/rhex.git

	cd rhex

	cargo run --release

*Note that you must to have the ncurses library installed and linkable for ncurses-rs to work. On Linux, this should be trivial. On OS X, consider installing ncurses using Homebrew. (Note that you have to force Homebrew to link the library to /usr/local/lib: brew link --force ncurses and set that path to LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable.)*

## Status

The game is playable but not feature and gameplay wise complete.

*rhex* is actively seeking collaborators. If you'd like to practice your Rust

or/and find roguelikes interesting ping `@dpc` on [rhex gitter channel][rhex-gitter] and we

can get your started.
