gdps-server

a Geometry Dash server reimplementation in Rust

this project is based off of (stolen from) the crystal-gauntlet server

why?

i'm trying to learn some rust, and this is a solid choice. most GDPS solutions out there are pretty garbage, to say the least.

features

• highly configurable
• compiled, for extra speed
• parses uploaded levels to patch RCEs and verify that everything is in place
• website frontend

build

cargo build --release

configuration

copy .env.example to .env and fill it out, same for config.example.toml to config.toml

setup

make sure you have sqlx-cli by running cargo install sqlx-cli

run sqlx database setup

then finally run the server with cargo run

CLI tools

add --help or -h when calling the binary for special tools, such as patching executables.

todo

• add get levels search back (find how to easily do dynamic queries)
• user icons in account management pages
• account settings page
• better web design (make formatting more consistant)
• use chrono for dates in database
• 2.2's friends only unlisted
• dailies, weeklies, events(?)
• moderation utilities
• better song support
• cache authentication (redis or mem)
• make a proper rank system (reuploading, uploading music, rating, etc.)
• use serde to make the forms whateverCaseThisIs rather than breaking our lint convention
• add back realip header support
• add configurable form limits
• nix
• clean up difficulty/demon difficulties. It's fucking VILE.
• panic less, use results
