# blazed-demo
A client-server 3D renderer featuring real-time player movement and view synchronization within a dynamic n-tick rate system. Built with [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) using [OpenGL](https://crates.io/crates/glow) and [SDL2](https://crates.io/crates/sdl2).
## Features
- n-tick rate server (default: 128)
- multiplayer (capacity: $\infty$)
- basic lighting (ambient + diffuse + specular)
- back-face culling
## Build
Retrieve the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/splurf/blazed-demo
```
## Running the Client
Before attempting to compile the client, you will need to configure [SDL2](https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2?tab=readme-ov-file#windows-msvc). Afterwards, you should have the library files placed into your toolchain and the `.dll` file at `client\SDL2.dll` in this project's directory.
```bash
cargo r --release --manifest-path client\Cargo.toml
```
## Running the Server
```bash
cargo r --release --manifest-path server\Cargo.toml
```
## Additional Usage
**Client**
```rs
Usage: client.exe [OPTIONS]
Options:
--fps Specify the FPS [default: 60]
--offline Do not attempt to connect to server
--remote-tcp-addr Remote TCP IP address [default: 127.0.0.1:54269]
--local-udp-addr Local UDP IP address (optional)
--remote-udp-addr Remote UDP IP address [default: 127.0.0.1:54277]
-h, --help Print help
```
**Server**
```rs
Usage: server.exe [OPTIONS]
Options:
-t, --tcp-addr Local TCP IP address [default: 127.0.0.1:54269]
-u, --udp-addr Local UDP IP address [default: 127.0.0.1:54277]
--tps Server ticks/sec [default: 128]
-h, --help Print help
```
## Todo
- Improve documentation (severely).
- Fix server implementation
- The server tends to fall apart with 3+ connections.
- Reduce CPU usage moving or looking around.
- Implement client-side server interpolation.
- Fix event-handling between mouse/keyboard.
- Scrollwheel events (zooming in/out) get mitigated while looking around.
- Implement culling techniques (frustrum & occlusion)
- Implement instanced-based rendering.
- Implement [AABB](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Games/Techniques/3D_collision_detection)-based collision. Maybe try a 3D grid-like partition.
- Optimized method of storing and sorting opaque/transparent objects.
- so much more.. taking a break for awhile.
