Rust game experiment. Client <-> Server architecture

Introduction

This is my hobby side-project which enables me to learn Rust in a fun way.

Current status

A basic client <-> server game with no features at all. Allows for manipulating "player" with simple controls:

• W, S, A, D move Up, Down, Left, Right
• H "holster" weapon (There is no weapon support right now, it is fictional)
• C change shirt color (It is synchronized, yay! :) )

How to run

Start a server

cargo run --bin zed-server -- address:port Starts game server on provided address:port.

Start a client and connect to a server

cargo run --bin zed-client -- server_address:port [local_address:port] Start a client and attempts to connect o server of server_address:port by binding a local UDP socket to a local_address:port.

If local address is not provided, a random one is chosen by the system.
