It's the year 2101. Corporations have taken over the world. The only way to be free is to join a pirate crew and start plundering the galaxy. The only mean of survival is to play basketball.
Now it's your turn to go out there and make a name for yourself. Create your crew and start wondering the galaxy in search of worthy basketball opponents.

Build
You need to have the rust toolchain installed --> https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install. Then you can build the game with

Run
This game runs as a terminal application, meaning that you just need to run the executable from your terminal with
./rebels
If you downloaded the binaries, you will first need to give execution permissions to the executable with
chmod +x rebels
Suggested minimal terminal size: 160x48. Not all terminals support the game colors nicely, so you might need to try different ones. Here is a list of tested terminals:
Important: currently local bot teams are generated by default to make the game more enjoyable. This behaviour can be disabled by passing the -f
flag to the executable. In the future, when more players will be available, the game will default to online teams only.
