# 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

| 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`
