Porting Curse of War to Rust
Raw
cow-port.md

Spicy Lobster wants to port https://github.com/a-nikolaev/curseofwar to Rust-lang.

There are many things to like about this project:

  • Small, fully specced out design. There aren’t really any unknown unknowns.
  • The game is 10 years old and dormant for a long time, plus it was never cross-platform, so there’s genuine value in porting it, aside from ‘just because’.
  • Codebase is composed of ~15 files in total (not counting the .h header files). It should be very easy to map out the complete porting roadmap in GitHub issues to open up for additional potential contributors.
  • There is a very high quality art asset that already has everything we need.

We'll put this game out on Steam for free. Perhaps at a later point in time we will create some paid DLC for it if we can think of a novel enough value-add. The game will always remain open source.
