Phase 1 Implementation Status
Completed ✅
Project Structure
- ✅ Complete directory structure (src/, examples/, tests/, docs/)
- ✅ Cargo.toml with Bevy 0.16 and all dependencies
- ✅ Feature flags configured (tui, brp, full)
- ✅ .gitignore for Rust projects
Source Code Modules
- ✅ lib.rs - Library entry point with feature-gated modules
- ✅ main.rs - Binary entry point with demo scene
- ✅ systems/ - Demo systems module with Rotating component
- ✅ tui/ - TUI module (mod.rs, config.rs, plugin.rs)
- ✅ brp/ - BRP module structure (mod.rs, config.rs)
Examples
- ✅ tui_basic.rs - Basic TUI rendering example
- ✅ tui_brp.rs - TUI + BRP integration example
- ✅ windowed_tui.rs - Dual windowed + TUI rendering
Compilation Status
- ✅ Base compilation (no features): SUCCESS
- ✅ TUI feature: SUCCESS
- ⚠️ BRP feature: Partial (structure ready, plugin integration pending)
- ⚠️ Full feature: Blocked by BRP
Known Issues 🔧
BRP Plugin Integration
Issue: bevy_brp_extras v0.17 Plugin trait compatibility
Status: Deferred to Phase 2
Reason: BrpExtrasPlugin doesn’t implement Plugins<M> trait for add_plugins()
Workaround Options for Phase 2:
- Use bevy_remote directly instead of bevy_brp_extras
- Check for compatible bevy_brp_extras version
- Implement custom BRP wrapper plugin
Current Error
error[E0277]: the trait bound `BrpExtrasPlugin: Plugins<_>` is not satisfied
Successfully Compiles ✨
# These all work:
cargo check --no-default-features # Base Bevy app
cargo check --features tui # TUI rendering
cargo check --lib --all-features # Library compiles
# These are blocked:
cargo check --features brp # BRP plugin issue
cargo check --features full # BRP plugin issueWhat Works
- Project Structure: Complete and organized
- TUI Module: Fully implemented and compiling
BevyMcpTuiPluginwith configurationTuiConfigresourceTuiRenderModeenum- Camera setup system
- BRP Module: Structure ready (configuration only)
- Examples: All written and ready for Phase 2
- Systems: Demo systems with rotation behavior
Next Steps (Phase 2)
-
Fix BRP Integration
- Research correct bevy_brp_extras usage pattern
- Alternative: Use bevy_remote directly
- Get BRP feature compiling
-
Core Integration
- Integrate bevy_ratatui_camera rendering strategies
- Implement dual rendering mode
- Camera synchronization between window and TUI
-
Testing
- Run tui_basic example
- Verify terminal rendering works
- Test with different terminals
Dependencies
Working
- bevy = “0.16” ✅
- bevy_ratatui = “0.9.3” ✅
- bevy_ratatui_camera = “0.15.0” ✅
- ratatui = “0.29” ✅
- crossterm = “0.28” ✅
Needs Investigation
- bevy_brp_extras = “0.17” ⚠️ (compatibility issue)

Summary
Phase 1 successfully establishes the complete project foundation with:
- Proper project structure and organization
- Feature-gated module system
- TUI rendering capability (compiles, ready to test)
- BRP module structure (needs plugin integration fix)
- Comprehensive examples for all use cases
The project is ready to proceed to Phase 2 once the BRP plugin compatibility is resolved.
