![screenshot](doc/images/screenshot1.jpg)

OutFly is an atmospheric, open world, 100% hard sci-fi 3D game that throws you into the [main ring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Jupiter#Main_ring) of Jupiter, hundreds of years into the future.

Key features:

- Open source forever
- Open world, realistic hard sci-fi, atmospheric, deadly
- Accurate star chart. Can you spot the constellations?
- Cross platform (verified on Linux & Windows)
- Written in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org) with the [Bevy game engine](https://bevyengine.org)
- Status: Early access, not much content

# Key Bindings

- Space: stop moving
- AWSD: accelerate
- Shift and Ctrl: accelerate up and down
- e: open communication channel to nearby astronauts
- t: toggle music (NOTE: currently no music is included in the git repo)
- m: mute sound effects
- q: enter/exit vehicle
- TAB: toggle augmented reality overlay (HUD, low-light amplifier)

# System Requirements

- Screen, keyboard, mouse
- Operating System: Linux, Windows, MacOS
- Ideally, a graphics card with vulkan support

If your GPU does not support vulkan, try rendering with OpenGL by setting the environment variable `WGPU_BACKEND` to `gl`, like:

```
WGPU_BACKEND=gl ./outfly
or
WGPU_BACKEND=gl cargo run
```

However, this may result in poor performance and visual glitches.

# Building
## General notes

For development, it's recommended to use `--features dev` to enable dynamic linking, e.g. like this:

```
cargo [run|build] --features dev
```

## On Linux

To run the pre-compiled version on Arch Linux, you need some basic libs:

```
pacman -S glibc libcap gcc-libs alsa-lib systemd-libs
```

To build the game on Arch Linux yourself, you need these, although you can replace `rust` with `rustup`:

```
pacman -S rust libx11 pkgconf alsa-lib
```

Then run the following commands, replacing `[URL]` with the clone URL of the git repository:

```
git clone [URL]
cd outfly
cargo run --release
```

NOTE: Audio is muted by default when run through `cargo run`, unless you add `--release`

## Building for Windows on Linux

```
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
pacman -S mingw-w64-toolchain  # on ArchLinux. other distros have their equivalent package
cargo build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-gnu --release
```

## Building on Mac OS

Install homebrew, and then get the following dependencies:

```
brew install pkg-config molten-vk rustup
rustup-init
```

Download, compile and run the game:

```
git clone [URL]
cd outfly
cargo run --release
```
