Episode 11: Restricting the Dataset
Drastically reducing the Dofus build search space using level constraints and user requirements.
Episode 10: Searching Through Gear Combinations
Building a very naive (but working!) brute-force search over gear combinations in Rust.
Episode 9: Build Data Structure
Designing a Rust Build structure that knows where each gear belongs with some basic validation.
Episode 8: Overview of the Build Tool
Structuring the project into clean crates and exploring the (terrifying) search space of gear combinations.
Episode 7: Completing the Model & Wiring a CLI
I tightened the parser, filled in the remaining characteristics, added a CLI (--import / --export), and exported a complete, game-wide gear dataset.
Episode 6: Testing in Rust — Because Even Pet Projects Deserve Some Love
This episode introduces testing in Rust through round-trip checks and temporary file I/O, improving the project’s design along the way.
Episode 5: Scraping the Whole Dofus Encyclopedia
Scraping the full Dofus gear encyclopedia with Rust — pagination, parallelism, and a small gotcha.
Episode 4: Storing data locally
This episode covers saving Dofus gear data to local JSON files, making development faster and more resilient.
Episode 3: Fetching data from an external API
Episode 3 fetches real Dofus items with data from a fan-made API and maps it into Rust models using tokio, reqwest, and serde.
Episode 2: Modeling basic data
In this episode, we kick off by modeling the core game data — gear and its characteristics — as the foundation for our Rust project.
Kicking Off My Rust Journey (For Real This Time)
A Scala developer kicks off a new attempt to learn Rust by building a tool for optimizing gear in the RPG Dofus, documenting the messy but motivating process in public.
