dcss-api

dcss-api is an easy to use Rust wrapper for Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup's (DCSS) Webtile websocket API. It supports logging in, starting a game and sending commands during game play. It works for DCSS 0.29, 0.30, 0.31 and 0.32.

Documentation

The documentation for the dcss-api can be found here. The best way to start is to look at the examples here. Please see the setup on GitHub in order to be able to run these examples. In depth documentation about the DCSS websocket API can also be found here.

Example

This example connects to DCSS on localhost:8080, logs in as Username, starts a random game as a minotaur berserker with a mace, moves up and then back, then quits the game and disconnects.

// Connect to DCSS Webtile
let mut webtile = Webtile::connect("ws://localhost:8080/socket", 100, "0.32")?;

// Empty message queue;
while webtile.get_message().is_some() {}

// Log in (to a user called "Username", with a password "Password")
let gameid = webtile.login_with_credentials("Username", "Password")?;

// Print the game id's that can be started
println!("{:?}", gameid);

// Empty message queue;
while webtile.get_message().is_some() {}

// Start a random game (seed `0`) on 'dcss-0.32', for Minotaur berserker with a mace.
webtile.start_game_seeded(&gameid[0], "0", false, "b", "f", "b")?;

// Print the messages you get upon starting the game (should be processed)
while let Some(message) = webtile.get_message() {
    println!("{:?}", message)
}

// Move up and back
webtile.write_key("key_dir_n")?;
webtile.write_key("key_dir_s")?;

// Print the messages you while moving (should be processed)
while let Some(message) = webtile.get_message() {
    println!("{:?}", message)
}

// Quit game (same as dying)
webtile.quit_game()?;

// Print the messages after you quit game
while let Some(message) = webtile.get_message() {
    println!("{:?}", message)
}

// Disconnect from webtile
webtile.disconnect()?;
