# UDPT

This project was written in Rust, it is a complete rewrite of a previous C/C++ UDPT project (which is still currently available in the `v2.1` tag of the repository).

## Getting started
|
|
The easiest way is to get built binaries from [Releases](https://github.com/naim94a/udpt/releases),
|
|
but building from sources should be fairly easy as well:
|
|
|
|
```commandline
|
|
git clone https://github.com/naim94a/udpt.git
|
|
cd udpt
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

### Why was UDPT rewritten in rust?
|
|
For a few reasons,
|
|
1. Rust makes it harder to make mistakes than C/C++, It provides memory safety without runtime cost.
|
|
2. Rust allows easier cross-platform development with it's powerful standard library.
|
|
3. Integrated tests and benchmarks.

UDPT was originally developed for fun in 2012 by [@naim94a](https://github.com/naim94a).
