Terminal Viscosity

A multiplayer-first 3D water-balloon fight where the balloons are filled with liquid chemicals you craft beforehand. Simple shapes, heavy shader effects.

Status: scaffold. The simulation core, wire protocol, C ABI, CI, benchmarks, and a crafting-lab prototype (a walkable first-person chemistry lab room, a 3D water balloon with jiggle held by a tied tip, a scene system, and a local database check on DixScript) exist. The arena, networking, chemistry integration, and balloon painting do not.

Layout

• crates/ Rust: tv_proto, tv_sim, tv_ffi, tv_server
• client/ Odin and raylib client
• benches/ Criterion benchmarks (separate Cargo workspace)
• scripts/ repository checks, benchmark tools, client build
• docs/ architecture, CI, benchmarks, open decisions, and copied reference docs

Try it

cargo test --workspace
cargo run --release -p tv_server -- selftest
python3 scripts/check_headers.py
bash scripts/build_client.sh --selftest   # needs odin on PATH

Start with docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, then docs/OPEN_DECISIONS.md. Android is a requirement, see docs/ANDROID.md.
