librollenspielsache

WIP - there's like nothing actually here yet. This is more a guiding plan.

The Rollenspielsache is a set of tools for managing tabletop RPG games. The goal is to handle the mechanics seamlessly, allowing you to participate or run a tabletop encounter without getting distracted by rule clarifications.

Overview

This repo contains the core library as a Rust crate with an eventually optional C-FFI interface. In Rust you get to use the full Rust API, I plan to expose as much as I can, but the FFI interface is much more barebones and largely guided by need. Use cargo build --release to produce target/release/librollenspiel.so. Then, add this directory to your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to create a binding. Use cargo test to run the tests.

Features

This library aims to cover as much territory as possible, reducing automating as many interactions as possible for a seamless experience while running (or playing) a game, whether that's in person or digitally via another system like roll20.

Types

• Party, either player or NPC (for encounters) - APL, CR
• Character - class, race
• Item
• Skill/Ability/Spell (given by items)

Systems - make everything as agnostic as possible:

• D&D 5E
• Starfinder

TODO roll20 integration?

Data-ready

• C-compatible - see librollenspielsache-rb for an example of how to use from another language.
• Redis-ready - each type has a method to build an appropriate Redis command for insertion.

Usage

Control the build with cargo. Use make all as a shortcut to put the compiled shared object file for FFI usage in dist/. Point your linker to this file to use it.
