The way that this works is that it plugs into the online request to retrieve the beatmap set that the client is already performing, and stores user tag data to the local realm database. This means that for now user tags will only populate for beatmaps that the user has displayed on song select which is obviously subpar. I plan to follow this change up by adding user tag state dumps to `online.db` and using that data for initial tag population to make the majority case (ranked beatmaps) work. Note that several decisions were made here that are potential discussion points: - `RealmPopulatingOnlineLookupSource` is set up such that it can be the middle man / redirection point for similar flows that we need and we are currently missing, such as storing guest difficulty information, or storing the user's current best score on a beatmap (handy for rank achieved sorting / filtering / etc.) - The user tags are stored in `BeatmapMetadata` which breaks the longstanding assumption that you can arbitrarily pull out a metadata instance from any of the beatmaps in a set and get essentially the same object back. I've attempted to constrain this some by not adding user tags to the `IBeatmapMetadataInfo` interface through which `BeatmapSetInfo` exposes metadata further, but I warn in advance that this is a temporary state of affairs and I will make it worse in the future when `BeatmapMetadata.Author` becomes `Authors` plural in order to support guest mapper display (and direct guest difficulty submission). - The syntax for searching via user tags is chosen to mostly match web - it's `tag=`, with support for all of the string matching modes song select already has (bare word for substring, `""` quotes for phrase isolated by whitespace, `""!` for exact full match).
osu!
A free-to-win rhythm game. Rhythm is just a click away!
This is the future – and final – iteration of the osu! game client which marks the beginning of an open era! Currently known by and released under the release codename "lazer". As in sharper than cutting-edge.
Status
This project is under constant development, but we do our best to keep things in a stable state. Players are encouraged to install from a release alongside their stable osu! client. This project will continue to evolve until we eventually reach the point where most users prefer it over the previous "osu!stable" release.
A few resources are available as starting points to getting involved and understanding the project:
- Detailed release changelogs are available on the official osu! site.
- You can learn more about our approach to project management.
- Track our current efforts towards improving the game.
Running osu!
If you are just looking to give the game a whirl, you can grab the latest release for your platform:
Latest release:
| Windows 10+ (x64) | macOS 12+ (Intel, Apple Silicon) | Linux (x64) | iOS 13.4+ | Android 5+ |
|---|
You can also generally download a version for your current device from the osu! site.
If your platform is unsupported or not listed above, there is still a chance you can run the release or manually build it by following the instructions below.
For iOS/iPadOS users: The iOS testflight link fills up very fast (Apple has a hard limit of 10,000 users). We reset it occasionally. Please do not ask about this. Check back regularly for link resets or follow peppy on twitter for announcements. Our goal is to get the game on mobile app stores very soon so we don't have to live with this limitation.
Developing a custom ruleset
osu! is designed to allow user-created gameplay variations, called "rulesets". Building one of these allows a developer to harness the power of the osu! beatmap library, game engine, and general UX for a new style of gameplay. To get started working on a ruleset, we have some templates available here.
You can see some examples of custom rulesets by visiting the custom ruleset directory.
Developing osu!
Prerequisites
Please make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- A desktop platform with the .NET 8.0 SDK installed.
When working with the codebase, we recommend using an IDE with intelligent code completion and syntax highlighting, such as the latest version of Visual Studio, JetBrains Rider, or Visual Studio Code with the EditorConfig and C# Dev Kit plugin installed.
Downloading the source code
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ppy/osu
cd osu
To update the source code to the latest commit, run the following command inside the osu directory:
git pull
Building
From an IDE
You should load the solution via one of the platform-specific .slnf files, rather than the main .sln. This will reduce dependencies and hide platforms that you don't care about. Valid .slnf files are:
osu.Desktop.slnf(most common)osu.Android.slnfosu.iOS.slnf
Run configurations for the recommended IDEs (listed above) are included. You should use the provided Build/Run functionality of your IDE to get things going. When testing or building new components, it's highly encouraged you use the osu! (Tests) project/configuration. More information on this is provided below.
To build for mobile platforms, you will likely need to run sudo dotnet workload restore if you haven't done so previously. This will install Android/iOS tooling required to complete the build.
From CLI
You can also build and run osu! from the command-line with a single command:
dotnet run --project osu.Desktop
When running locally to do any kind of performance testing, make sure to add -c Release to the build command, as the overhead of running with the default Debug configuration can be large (especially when testing with local framework modifications as below).
If the build fails, try to restore NuGet packages with dotnet restore.
Testing with resource/framework modifications
Sometimes it may be necessary to cross-test changes in osu-resources or osu-framework. This can be quickly achieved using included commands:
Windows:
UseLocalFramework.ps1
UseLocalResources.ps1
macOS / Linux:
UseLocalFramework.sh
UseLocalResources.sh
Note that these commands assume you have the relevant project(s) checked out in adjacent directories:
|- osu // this repository
|- osu-framework
|- osu-resources
Code analysis
Before committing your code, please run a code formatter. This can be achieved by running dotnet format in the command line, or using the Format code command in your IDE.
We have adopted some cross-platform, compiler integrated analyzers. They can provide warnings when you are editing, building inside IDE or from command line, as-if they are provided by the compiler itself.
JetBrains ReSharper InspectCode is also used for wider rule sets. You can run it from PowerShell with .\InspectCode.ps1. Alternatively, you can install ReSharper or use Rider to get inline support in your IDE of choice.
Contributing
When it comes to contributing to the project, the two main things you can do to help out are reporting issues and submitting pull requests. Please refer to the contributing guidelines to understand how to help in the most effective way possible.
If you wish to help with localisation efforts, head over to crowdin.
We love to reward quality contributions. If you have made a large contribution, or are a regular contributor, you are welcome to submit an expense via opencollective. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to peppy before doing so.
