Installation

Once the github repository is cloned, let's try to understand what is going on.

Server Setup​

The Voxelize server runs mainly on the voxelize crate. We will also be using:

  • actix-web for network/websocket handling.
  • specs for the central Entity Component System.
server/Cargo.toml
voxelize = "*"
actix-web = "*"
specs = {version = "*", features = ["specs-derive", "serde"]}

Client Setup​

The client-side npm package of Voxelize is called @voxelize/core. Voxelize uses three.js for the 3D rendering. As you can see in the template, they have been added to our project in the package.json file.

package.json
"dependencies": {
  "@voxelize/core": "**",
  "three": "*"
}
