## Project
`viberogue` is a roguelike game written in Rust (edition 2024). It is in early development with no dependencies yet.
`viberogue` is a ZZT-inspired game-making system written in Rust (edition 2024). The goal is a system where players can create games using a scripting language, similar to the classic DOS game ZZT. It uses **Rhai** for scripting (WASM-compatible, sandboxed, pure Rust).
## Commands
```bash
cargo build # compile
cargo run # build and run
cargo run # build and run (loads maps/start.toml)
cargo test # run all tests
cargo test <name> # run a single test by name (substring match)
cargo clippy # lint

`update` is structured in two panels:
- `egui::TopBottomPanel::top` — menu bar (File → Exit)
- `egui::CentralPanel::default` — game viewport; use `ui.painter()` to draw directly
- `egui::CentralPanel::default` — game viewport; rendered with `ui.painter()`
As the codebase grows, game state will live on the `App` struct and game logic will be split into modules under `src/` (map generation, entities, etc.). Keep game logic separate from the egui drawing calls in `update`.
### Modules
**`src/game.rs`** — all core game types:
- `Glyph` (`Copy`) — per-cell visual: `ch: char`, `fg/bg: Color32`. `Glyph::player()` is the only constructor used at runtime (colors for board tiles come from the map file).
- `Element` — behavior: `passable: bool` (future: `opaque`, etc.)
- `Board` — the complete game unit (ZZT-style "board"): `width`, `height`, `elements: Vec<Element>` (behavior palette), `cells: Vec<(Glyph, usize)>` (row-major; usize indexes into `elements`), `player: Player`, `objects: Vec<ObjectDef>`, `portals: Vec<PortalDef>`. `cells` is `pub(crate)`.
- `Player``x: i32, y: i32`
- `ObjectDef` / `PortalDef` — parsed from map files, stored on Board; not yet runtime-wired
- `GameState` — holds `board: Board`; `try_move(dx, dy)` checks passability before moving the player
**`src/map_file.rs`** — map file loading:
- `MapFile` and friends — serde `Deserialize` types for TOML map files
- `impl From<MapFile> for Board` — converts a parsed file into a ready-to-use `Board`
- `pub fn load(path: &str) -> Result<Board, Box<dyn std::error::Error>>` — reads and converts a `.toml` map file
**`src/main.rs`** — app entry point:
- Loads `maps/start.toml` before creating the window (so board dimensions drive window size)
- Window min-size = `board.width * CELL_W + 2*PANEL_MARGIN` × `board.height * CELL_H + MENU_H + 2*PANEL_MARGIN`
- Board is centered in the CentralPanel when the window is larger than minimum
- `draw_glyph(painter, origin, x, y, glyph)` draws one cell: filled rect (bg) + monospace char (fg)
- Player is rendered on top of the board using `Glyph::player()`
- Arrow key input handled via `ctx.input(|i| ...)` before panel rendering
### Map file format (`maps/*.toml`)
XPM-inspired: a `[palette]` maps single characters to `(Glyph, Element)` definitions; `[grid] content` is a TOML multi-line string where each character indexes the palette.
```toml
[map]
name = "Room Name"
width = 60
height = 25
player_start = [30, 12]
[palette]
" " = { passable = true, ch = " ", fg = "#000000", bg = "#000000" }
"#" = { passable = false, ch = "#", fg = "#808080", bg = "#606060" }
[grid]
content = """
############################################################
# #
############################################################
"""
[[objects]] # optional; parsed but not yet runtime-wired
x = 10
y = 5
script = """
on_touch(|| { send_message("open"); });
"""
[[portals]] # optional; parsed but not yet runtime-wired
x = 59
y = 12
target_map = "cave"
target_entry = "west_door"
```
Colors are `"#RRGGBB"` hex strings. `player_start` is a header field — the player is not a board cell. The grid multi-line string's leading newline is trimmed by TOML; trailing newline is handled correctly by `str::lines()`.
### Key design decisions
- **`cells: Vec<(Glyph, usize)>`** — the `usize` element index is intentionally an anonymous tuple field; it only has meaning relative to a specific `Board`'s `elements` palette and cannot be misused as a standalone value.
- **`Board` is the complete unit** — grid, player, objects, and portals all live on `Board`, matching how ZZT treats a "board". No separate wrapper struct.
- **Glyph (visual) and Element (behavior) are decoupled** — each cell has its own `Glyph` (so colors can vary per-cell, e.g. fire flickering) but shares `Element` definitions from the palette.
- **File loading happens in `main()`** before the window is created, so board dimensions are available for window sizing.
eframe runs on its own event loop thread; do not assume single-threaded execution.
