GAT - GlazeWM Alternating Tiler, written in Rust.

Eh, I'm done with this.


Why?

Really, there was no reason why other than exploring async and websockets using Rust. I haven't been messing around with programming too much lately, so I figured that this would be a good starting point. Yes, it is shoddily-written and unnecessary, but why not? And yes, this was initially based on the same premise as Burgr033's work using Python, which can be found here.


What about-?

Yes, I know, you could use pytools to compile the original script by Burgr033 and run it as an executable, but I personally hate that approach and think that the packaging for Rust is superior in this regard.

For proper inspiration, look up jonhoo's OBS-DO project along with some of his other work.


Okay, so how would I set this up to build from scratch?

Rust@Nightly-GNU:

rustup install nightly-gnu
rustup default nightly-gnu

Open the project folder in a terminal, then type cargo b -r to build a release binary, which will be located in gat-gwm\target\release\gat-gwm.exe.

You can also build a release binary with no console by specifying the no_console feature like so: cargo b -r --features=no_console

If all of that was too much, download the pre-made binary.

From here, you can add the executable to a script, bind it to a key in GWM, or just have it autostart in GWM V3 by adding it to the startup commands list:

general:
  startup_commands: [
    ...
    'shell-exec <GATLocation>/gat-gwm.exe'
  ]
