In-game console for the Fyrox game engine for changing cvars at runtime.

Usage

• Add cvars-console-fyrox to your Cargo.toml:

cargo add cvars-console-fyrox

• Create a FyroxConsole when initializing your game:

FyroxConsole::new(&mut engine.user_interface);

You're responsible for opening and closing the console according to your game's key bindings. You also need to call resized and ui_message on the appropriate engine events.

Real-world example

See how RustCycles uses cvars and the console.

Compatibility

The version of fyrox-ui used by your game has to match the version used by cvars-console-fyrox, otherwise you'll get confusing errors such as:

expected struct `fyrox_ui::UserInterface`, found struct `UserInterface`

You can use cargo tree to debug the issue but in general every time you update the engine after a breaking change, you have to update the console.

This means that there has to be a new major[^major] release of cvars-console-fyrox for each new major release of fyrox-ui even though there are no changes to the console. I will try to release a new version soon after Fyrox but since i am the only maintainer, it might not always be possible. If you need to use the latest Fyrox and cvars-console-fyrox hasn't caught up yet, feel free to submit a PR. Usually the only change needed is updating the version numbers.

You can also temporarily make a fork of the console with the fyrox-ui version number updated and add a patch section to your Cargo.toml.

[^major]: Since fyrox-ui's version number is 0.y.z, changing y is considered a major release as per Cargo's flavor of semantic versioning.
