SoccerCloud CLI (Rust)

Terminal-native rebuild of MentalNet SoccerCloud with a cloud-dashboard feel.

Overview

This project is a Rust TUI/CLI soccer simulator with:

• Single Match, 4-Team League, and 4-Team Knockout modes
• Live match logs, scoreboard, and instance lifecycle controls
• Seeded deterministic runs (--seed) for reproducible results
• CSV export for single, league, and knockout outputs
• Expanded team pool (clubs + 50+ national teams, including PRC China)

Requirements

• Rust toolchain (stable)
• Cargo
• A terminal that supports UTF-8 and colors

Install Rust (if needed):

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Setup

Clone and build:

git clone <your-repo-url>
cd soccercloud-cli
cargo check

Run in debug mode:

cargo run

Build optimized binary:

cargo build --release
./target/release/soccercloud

CLI Usage

Default (interactive TUI):

soccercloud

or with Cargo:

cargo run --

Use a global seed for reproducibility:

cargo run -- --seed 42

Quick match (headless)

cargo run -- quick --home "Arsenal" --away "Real Madrid" --seed 42

CPU auto-fill for missing team(s):

cargo run -- quick --home "England" --seed 42
cargo run -- quick --seed 42

List teams

cargo run -- list

Export CSV

Single:

cargo run -- export --mode single --team "Arsenal" --team "PRC China" --out match.csv --seed 42

League:

cargo run -- export --mode league4 --team "England" --team "Brazil" --team "Japan" --team "Germany" --out league.csv --seed 42

Knockout:

cargo run -- export --mode knockout4 --team "France" --team "Argentina" --team "Morocco" --team "PRC China" --out knockout.csv --seed 42

TUI Controls

Global:

• n create Single instance
• l create League4 instance
• o create Knockout4 instance
• s start selected instance
• c clone selected instance
• d delete selected instance
• e export selected instance CSV
• v or Enter toggle dashboard/detail
• j/k or Up/Down navigate instances
• 1/2/4/0 speed control (1x/2x/4x/instant)
• q quit

Create modal:

• m set selected slot to manual team
• p set selected slot to CPU auto-fill
• [ / ] or Left/Right cycle manual team
• Enter create
• Esc cancel

Readable fullscreen data panels:

• t stats modal
• g standings/bracket modal
• h history modal
• j/k or Up/Down scroll inside modal
• Esc or q close modal

Notes

• Dependency policy is intentionally strict (minimal crates).
• Team data is embedded in the binary (no external runtime data files).
• Use --seed for deterministic comparisons and debugging.
