BlueScribe

BlueScribe is an army list builder for tabletop wargames; it is heavily inspired by and 100% compatible with BattleScribe, reading the same format datafiles and writing rosters in the same format.

Try it out at https://bluewinds.github.io/bluescribe/. It loads and runs in a web browser, no installation or downloads needed. For the moment, it is optimized for desktop machines; while it works on a phone, this has not been tested and is probably a bit finicky. There is no server - everything is stored locally on your computer - and other than downloading or updating game systems, it can be run without internet access. For listing and downloading datafiles, BlueScribe uses the https://jsdelivr.net/ CDN.

There is no tracking, no subscription, no paid features. BlueScribe is GNU GPL 3.0 licensed; you can freely distribute and modify it yourself, though of course I appreciate notice and pull requests if you have improvements!

To build and run

npm install npm run start

Desktop App

To build the desktop app, you will need to install Rust, as well as the tauri dependencies. On Debian-based systems, this looks something like:

sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev \
    build-essential \
    curl \
    wget \
    file \
    libssl-dev \
    libgtk-3-dev \
    libayatana-appindicator3-dev \
    librsvg2-dev

# Additional dependencies not listed in tauri that I found necessary
sudo apt-get install javascriptcoregtk-4.1

To build the necessary crates for the first time, run npm run prep_tauri.

In your development cycle, use npm run tauri dev. This launches npm run start then runs a native app using that server, so you can hot reload and see your changes in both the browser and the native app simultaneously.

Executables can be built with npm run tauri build -- -b app Packaged installers can be built with npm run tauri build
