How to build

Normal mode

In normal mode, you will need SDL2 installed on your system. Check out rust-sdl2's readme for more details on this. With SDL2 installed, you can build with Cargo:

cargo build --release

Bundled mode

To use rust-sdl2 bundled mode, enable feature sdlbundled:

cargo build --release --features sdlbundled

How to run

1. Copy example.config.toml to config.toml.
2. Fill out config.toml with the relevant credentials. This program does not register as an app or obtain a token, you will have to do it yourself.
3. Take a look at cubeglobe/assets/full-tiles.toml. It contains the path to the assets directory. You may wish to copy this file and edit the path so it reflects the situation on your system and points to where the assets directory is.
4. Run with cubeglobe-bot --tiles path/to/your/full-tiles.toml
