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

Usage

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

cargo add cvars-console-macroquad

• Create a MacroquadConsole when initializing your game.

• Call its update method in your main loop.

Real-world example

See how RecWars uses cvars and the console.

Compatibility

The version of macroquad used by your game has to match the version used by cvars-console-macroquad, otherwise you'll get a segfault. Unlike with cvars-console-fyrox, there is no error at compile time.

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-macroquad for each new major release of macroquad even though there are no changes to the console. I will try to release a new version soon after macroquad but since i am the only maintainer, it might not always be possible. If you need to use the latest macroquad and cvars-console-macroquad hasn't caught up yet, feel free to submit a PR.

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

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