Layered application architecture with local/remote client-server networking, built with Rust. 🧩
A small Rust demo exploring two patterns I wanted to implement and showcase:
- Layered application engine - Stack-based Layer system (menu / game / pause) driven by an Application loop, with input bindings, actions, and settings abstracted behind generic traits.
- Client/server game session - The same client binary can run a fully
integrated local server, or connect to a standalone dedicated server binary,
selected via
settings.json.
Powered by Raylib, Hecs, and Renet.
Linux
Prebuilt binaries available, architecture and dedicated_server.

Other platforms
Build or run from source with:
--bin architecture
--bin dedicated_server
Usage
First run of architecture will generate a settings.json file from where you can configure various options. Default session is local.
To run a remote session change mode under net_settings from Local to Remote then run dedicated_server. Run architecture and it will now connect to the dedicated server.
WASD to move the "player". Spin up a bunch of architecture instances to connect more clients.
