wlsplit

Basic speedrun timer for Wayland compositors using wlr-layer-shell (wlroots/kwin)

Usage

For the simplest case, simply execute wlsplit <filename> and a split file will be generated and immediately used.

Some optional flags can be passed to change the content of that generated file:

• --game: Game name to use
• --category: Run category (e.g. "any%")
• --splits: A comma separated list of splits to use (e.g. "Tutorial,Boss 1,Firelink Shrine" etc)

See wlsplit --help for more.

wlsplit does not support any direct commands, instead it is meant to be controlled via socket, for which wlsplitctl can be used.
Available commands are:

• start
• split
• skip
• pause
• reset
• quit

I would recommend binding these commands as hotkeys in your compositor so that they can be used while a game is in focus.

Installation

Requirements

• freetype-devel
• fontconfig-devel

For installation into ~/.cargo/bin simply clone the repo and run: cargo install --path .

Configuration

A configuration file with the defaults is automatically created in .config/wlsplit/wlsplit.toml. Current configuration support is still rather rudimentary and will hopefully be improved.
