• Go 1.23 or higher
• Raylib dependencies (see raylib-go)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://gitea.boner.be/bdnugget/goonscape.git
cd goonscape

2. Install dependencies:

go mod tidy

3. Build and run:

go run main.go

Controls

• Mouse Click: Move to location
• T: Open chat
• Enter: Send chat message
• Escape: Cancel chat/Close game (it does both of these at the same time so gg)
• Arrow Keys: Rotate camera
• Mouse Wheel: Zoom in/out

Configuration

Server connection can be configured using command-line flags:

# Connect to default server (boner.be:6969)
go run main.go

# Connect to local server
go run main.go -local

# Connect to specific server
go run main.go -addr somehost        # Uses somehost:6969
go run main.go -addr somehost:6970   # Uses somehost:6970

Note: The -local flag is a shorthand for -addr localhost:6969 and cannot be used together with -addr.

Development

The project uses Protocol Buffers for network communication. If you modify the .proto files, regenerate the Go code with:

protoc --go_out=. goonserver/actions/actions.proto
