openage VS nyan

[openage]https://github.com/SFTtech/openage) - Age of Empires II clone. Python, C++

Perhaps you can contribute to this project: https://github.com/SFTtech/openage

It is currently being done and published here: https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/

That's most likely not happening, but there is an opensource AoE2 engine that is in development https://github.com/SFTtech/openage

The openage is as well a fantastic project https://github.com/SFTtech/openage

Hey, there are a bunch of build instructions listed here in the Github repo. Dependencies for Fedora should also be linked there. If you want to see the latest stuff (i.e. the things we're talking about in the post above), you should pull from the branch in this PR: https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/pull/1505

For example Openage (OSS re-implementations of Age of Empires): https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/master/doc/media_convert.md

With this feature done (or rather awaiting merging in PR #1501), the engine is now able to spawn a game entity with the gaben graphic on mouse click:

I have tried building opensource aoe2 implementations like freeaoe, openage, but with not much success.

While the openage converter could already generate modpacks from the original game assets for a long time, the engine couldn't really understand them yet (except for loading/showing single animations for testing). This has been changed now with the addition of a simple internal mod manager as well as loaders for getting game data into the gamestate's nyan database. At this point, the gamestate still doesn't have any logic that can do something meaningful with the data. However, it gets us one step closer to testing features with "real" data instead of the more generic tests and demos that we've shown before. This also means that you might see more AoE2 or SWGB visuals in future news posts!

NEW: [nyan] Release v0.2 (Link) nyan file format version numbers optional members - can be None or a value children object members - can only hold heirs of the speficied object abstract object members - can hold object where not all members have values dict members - key-value storage with arbitrary types (keys must be hashable) infinity handling for numbers int and float compatiblity

nyan will be used in openagededicated servers (not as in AoE2DE that is utilizing lockstep and relay servers). openage uses a curved-based approach instead of lockstep (e.g. Tech of Planetary annihilation blog post).

PROPOSED: [nyan] File API (Link)

PROPOSED: [nyan] v0.1 fails to complie on Windows (Link)

PROPOSED: [nyan] Number types compatibility (int<->float) considerations (Link)

We will publish a blogpost for this soon-ish when I have more time again. Currently, the gamestate is stuck in a planning phase because this needs to be merged and we can only draw a bunch of diagrams. I would like us to do a weekly or bi-weekly blogpost series like we did for the modding API to show gamestate progress, so that it will be more visible.
