RaptorEngine VS BTTT

RaptorEngine

Yep, the game and its engine are both open source.

Will there be a mobile/tablet port? Maybe someday, but no promises. I play games on PC and use a Blackberry Classic. BTTT and RaptorEngine are both open source C++, so you are welcome to try porting it. You would probably need to ditch my SDL 1.2 bindings for SDL2, rework a few older GL calls that are not available in OpenGLES, and replace keyboard controls with touch.

Someone else may have a better answer about the easiest way to draw text. In my game engine, I use SDL_ttf (1.2) to write characters into OpenGL textures when initializing a font, then to draw text I use those textures on rectangles: https://github.com/Raptor007/RaptorEngine/blob/master/UI/Font.cpp

BTTT: BattleTech TableTop

A new version of BTTT: BattleTech TableTop has been released! For those unfamiliar, this is my fan project to recreate tabletop play in a network PC game. You can play online, LAN, local hotseat, or against AI opponents.

I prefer BTTT, it's a lot more snappy, and had a better visual style. MegaMek is great if you want it ALL, BTTT is great if you just wanna have a fight.

You can view an archived copy or download the latest BTTT release from GitHub.

Oh that's a good idea! Unfortunately that's not really possible in this version. All map hexes use this grey texture which is colored by terrain height in the code.

Happy Pi Day! This seems like as good a day as any to release an updated BTTT: BattleTech TableTop. If you're not familiar, here's what it looks like. Have fun!

I've just pushed another update to BTTT, my fan project to recreate BattleTech tabletop (Total Warfare) as a networked PC game. You can download the latest version from my site or GitHub.

I've just updated my fan project BTTT: BattleTech TableTop. You can download v0.9.2 for Windows and MacOS from my site or GitHub where the source code is also available.

Here is BTTT: BattleTech TableTop v0.9.1, my fan project to recreate the tabletop experience in a network PC game. BTTT focuses on a streamlined implementation of just the core rules that my friends and I actually play rather than attempting to support every possible BattleTech feature like MegaMek. It also animates movements and combat, though it is nowhere near as pretty as HBS BattleTech.
