# Rust for Arduboy

Running Rust on the [Arduboy](https://arduboy.com/) miniature game system.

The most important first.
I didn't create this project from scratch, @Seeker14491 the legend has already done a lot in his old project [ArduboyRust](https://github.com/Seeker14491/ArduboyRust)

I just updated and completed the project.

### What do i mean by completed?

I provided all the important functions from the [Arduboy2](https://github.com/MLXXXp/Arduboy2) library in a safe Rust API.

Most of the Arduboy2 funktions can be called the same way like in C.

# How to use this Project

First clone the repo

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ZennDev1337/Rust-for-Arduboy
```

Install [PlatformIO Core](https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/installation/methods/pypi.html) on your system.
I recommend the pip install if you don't want to configure a new path variable for pio.
Otherwise you will know how to do that.

The rust-analyzer will complain about a missing test crate to fix this
add the following rule to the lsp settings :

```json
{
    "rust-analyzer.checkOnSave.allTargets": false
}
```

If your using Visual Studio Code: Create a folder named `.vscode` and a file named `settings.json` inside. Past the setting above in the new file. (I have excluded my `.vscode` folder because I have many different settings there that you don't need)

Your game is located in the Project/game folder. This is also the folder you are working in

Inside the game folder you will find a lib.rs file which contains the setup and loop function as you know it from a normal Arduboy C project.

You can find the Docs here:

-   [arduboy-rust Crate Docs](https://zenndev1337.github.io/Rust-for-Arduboy/)

or you can use the following command to open the arduboy-rust Crate docs locally

```bash
cargo doc -p arduboy-rust --open
```

Most of the time you will use the prelude.
There is listed witch funktionality you will have.

And last but not least there are multiple examples inside of the Examples folder which shows you how to use the functions.
I will from time to time also upload my projects to the Example folder so you have as much ressurces as possible.

## Usage of the run tool

**Both run scripts** (only works if you use the given folder structure)

requirements:

-   [PlatformIO Core](https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/installation/methods/pypi.html) must be installed
-   The Arduboy must be plugged in
-   You are in the root directory of this project

All builded `.hex` files are saved inside of `arduboy-rust/Wrapper-Project/build/<GAMENAME>.hex` after you uploaded them to the Arduboy.

To upload your own game to the Arduboy use:

Linux:

```bash
./run
```

Windows:

```ps1
.\run.bat
```

Linux:

```bash
./run demo2
./run demo3
./run demo4
./run demo5
./run demo6
./run demo7
./run eeprom
./run eeprom-byte
./run progmem

.\run.bat demo5
.\run.bat demo6
.\run.bat demo7
.\run.bat eeprom
.\run.bat eeprom-byte
.\run.bat progmem
.\run.bat tone
```

# Create a new project

In the root of the repo use the command:

(Don't use "-" in the name because of a cargo feature that takes the "-" and mixes sometimes with a "\_". You will have some weird behavior with the run tool.)

```bash
cargo new --lib ./Project/newproject
```

Then open the Cargo.toml in your new project and add the following dependencies and settings:

```toml
[lib]
crate-type = ["staticlib"]

[dependencies]

arduboy-rust = { path = "../../arduboy-rust" }
```

Next jump in your lib.rs file and add the following:

```rust
#![no_std]
#![allow(non_upper_case_globals)]

//Include the Arduboy Library
#[allow(unused_imports)]
use arduboy_rust::prelude::*;
#[allow(dead_code)]
const arduboy: Arduboy2 = Arduboy2::new();

// Progmem data

// dynamic ram variables

// The setup() function runs once when you turn your Arduboy on
#[no_mangle]
pub unsafe extern "C" fn setup() {
    // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

// The loop() function repeats forever after setup() is done
#[no_mangle]
#[export_name = "loop"]
pub unsafe extern "C" fn loop_() {
    // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}
```

Now the last step. Go in the Cargo.toml in the root directory and add your project:

```toml
[workspace]
members = [
    {All other Projects...}
    "Project/newproject",
]
resolver = "2"
```

To run and upload your game use the run tool

```bash
# Linux
./run newproject
```

```ps1
# Windows
.\run.bat newproject
```

## Credits

Thanks to @Seeker14491 who wrote [ArduboyRust](https://github.com/Seeker14491/ArduboyRust), the starting point for me to create my own project based on this project. (you are a hero <3)

Thanks to @simon-i1-h who wrote [arduboy-hello-rs](https://github.com/simon-i1-h/arduboy-hello-rs), the proof of concept that inspired me to try Rust on the Arduboy.
