drem (DragonRuby Environment Manager)

A command line utility written in Rust to help manage DragonRuby projects. This is related to the DragonRuby Game Toolkit (DRGTK).

Usage

General help

$ drem --help
Usage: drem [COMMAND]

Commands:
  new   Create a new game
  help  Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version

Create a new game

It will create a local copy of DRGTK and initialize a new game under it in a way that will make it easy to push to GitHub or elsewhere.

$ drem new --help
Create a new game

Usage: drem new --name <name> --drgtk <drgtk>

Options:
  -n, --name <name>    Name of the new game
  -d, --drgtk <drgtk>  Path to DRGTK zip to use
  -h, --help           Print help

Example

$ drem new -n eggs -d ~/Downloads/dragonruby-game-toolkit-macos.zip

This will do the following:

• Check if the referenced DRGTK zip file is a legitimate DRGTK.
• Unzip the DRGTK zip file to a folder called dragonruby-eggs-drgtk in the current directory.
• Add a .gitkeep file under dragonruby-eggs-drgtk/mygame/data, dragonruby-eggs-drgtk/mygame/fonts, and dragonruby-eggs-drgtk/mygame/sounds. This ensures that these folders are tracked by Git as they are empty by default.
• Add a .gitignore file under dragonruby-eggs-drgtk/mygame that ignores .DS_Store files.
• Initializes a git repository under dragonruby-eggs-drgtk/mygame.

After that, the developer can start working on their game and push dragonruby-eggs-drgtk/mygame to GitHub or elsewhere.

Assumptions

• The developer has already downloaded a version of DRGTK somewhere on their system.
• drem only works on macOS for now but should be easy to port to Windows and Linux.
