+# mc-launcher-rs
+
+A simple minecraft launcher, in Rust  
+
+## Goal
+The goal of this project is for me to learn a little bit of Rust, and experiment with the ecosystem.  
+The current scope of the project is just downloading minecraft and launching it.
+
+Maybe modloader after all is stable-ish
+
+## Stack
+// Todo, link
+| Usage    | Choice      |
+| -------- | ----------- |
+| UI       | egui        |
+| Async    | tokio       |
+| HTTP     | reqwest     |
+| JSON     | serde       |
+| Hashing  | sha1        |
+| Archives | zip         |
+| Folders  | directories |
+| Errors   | anyhow      |
+| Logs     | tracing     |
+
+## Roadmap
+Do the download logic, then the UI.
+
+Download:  
+[x] Read the manifest
+[x] Manifest -> JSON
+[] Interpret the data  
+[] Download from the JSON -> HTTP/Tokio  
+[] Go from sequential to parallel
+
+## Structure
+`core` -> all the launcher stuff, version manifest, JSON, download, hashes, launch args...
+`cli` -> a small wrapper that calls the core and display text
+`gui` -> another small wrapper that calls the core and displays it with `egui`
+
+
+## Links
+https://piston-meta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest_v2.json  
+This one is the main manifest
