# Rust Kroz
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://drone.valter.cat/valter/kroz-rs)
|
||||
|
||||
This is an **UNOFFICIAL** attempt to rewrite (in Rust) the late 80s/early 90s text-mode action game series Kroz by Apogee Software founder Scott Miller.
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is to closely mimic the look and behavior of the original game, but not necessarily recreate it exactly. I plan on making the following changes to make it generally more accessible:
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove all the references to ordering/registration
|
||||
- [The original game is free and open source now](http://legacy.3drealms.com/news/2009/03/several_old_games_released_as_freeware.html)
|
||||
- Combine every episode into one executable
|
||||
- Enable returning to the main menu from the game
|
||||
- Load custom levels/campaigns from external files
|
||||
- A built-in level editor would be nice
|
||||
- Load custom tile graphics from an external file
|
||||
- Settings for things like sound volume and controls
|
||||
- Game speed will be fixed, possibly configurable
|
||||
- The original game's speed varied with CPU speed
|
||||
- Improve control response
|
||||
- Support Windows, Linux, macOS
|
||||
- Possibly web and mobile platforms too
|
||||
|
||||
## Building
|
||||
|
||||
