[FEATURE] Make the GUI an optional cargo feature

[benjamin051000]

There are two ways to interact with Arnis: The GUI and the CLI.

The GUI is nice, and is the default way to interact with the project. However, I honestly prefer the CLI, and I'm sure others do, too. #linuxuser

It would be nice if I could strip out the GUI components for faster compile times/reduced dependencies. I believe the Rust way of doing this is by making CLI and GUI "features" in Cargo.toml?

I still think the GUI should be the default, but you could perhaps make it possible to disable it and get only the CLI.

That way I don't have to compile like 800 deps and can have a slim version of the app. :D

Also, there could be a way to strip out the CLI and just have the GUI, although I'm not sure how much compile/space savings that would offer since the CLI is pretty simple.

The CLI mode was originally even the standard interface, it's still in the code! Just remove this line which suppresses it:

arnis/src/main.rs

Line 1 in 2f2d1c7

#![cfg_attr(not(debug_assertions), windows_subsystem = "windows")]

And run it as follows: arnis --path="C:/YOUR_PATH/.minecraft/saves/worldname" --bbox="min_lng,min_lat,max_lng,max_lat"

We're currently discussing in #99 if we really want to keep the command line interface. And if so, how we should make it available on Github. I agree with you, it'd be cool to have a stripped down version with just the CLI - especially for making the compilation a bit easier on Linux. However I'm not sure yet how to do it while keeping an easy maintainability

I mean, it's definitely not a deal-breaker. Just a nice-to-have. If only 1% of users want a command line, it may not be worth the effort. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Feel free to focus on other efforts in the mean-time
