openage VS Spring RTS game engine

[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.

Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X.

springrts: Designed for 3D rts games. May be worth looking into if that's what you're making. The site is kind of lack luster so I didn't do too much digging around.

...or Total Annihilation Spring, nowadays known as Spring RTS: https://springrts.com/

My current favorite is Beyond All Reason. Before BAR, my favorite was Zero-K. Both BAR and zk use the same game engine, SpringRTS. BAR and zk are very similar to one another, and they're successors for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.

Obligatory mention of another open source RTS engine (lineage tracing back to the original Total Annihilation): https://springrts.com/

Non-OSS Engine?

Total Annihilation for sure, the spiritual successor Supreme Commander is great but a bit too different for me. There's an open source recreation that's a bit rough to learn at first, but it's my favorite game of all time called Spring RTS. https://springrts.com/

The other thing is that if you're going to make an engine focused on rts games, you should probably study an existing RTS-focused engine. For example, here's the source code for Spring. Learn what it does, why, and how. You might decide this is good enough for what you want to do. You might decide this is pretty close, and you'll only want to extend it rather than start from scratch. You might decide to still start from scratch, but at least you learned something about requirements/ methods/ etc.

Pretty much any game on the Spring Engine (which Zero-K is on) will work on Linux.
