Teeworlds VS Spring RTS game engine

It's a modied bsd license from what I see. https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/blob/master/license.txt

The problem is that some games start without issues and stay alive and others exit with exit code 1 immediately. For example, Teeworlds 0.7.5 ( teeworlds.com ) works just fine but Battle for Wesnoth 1.16.6 ( wesnoth.itch.io/battle-for-wesnoth ) doesn't.

I've played both and am especially a big fan of Celeste. The shooting is similar to Teeworlds, I got the idea from that.

> A retro multiplayer shooter

> Teeworlds is a free online multiplayer game, available for all major operating systems. Battle with up to 16 players in a variety of game modes, including Team Deathmatch and Capture The Flag. You can even design your own maps!

Richard Stallman has a policy of putting his non-engineering works under a non-libre license (CC-BY-ND 3.0) [0] [1], so maybe he wouldn't have a problem with this non-libre game as the underlying code is libre, just not the assets.

In my opinion, this is one of the problems with Stallman's "moral authority" approach to the FSF. I would very much like to hear about these cases where a game's source is libre licensed but not it's content and see what Stallman actually has to say about it.

Not for nothing, but there are many network/online games that have both source and content libre licensed. Here are a few:

* Teeworlds - https://www.teeworlds.com/

* Minetest - https://www.minetest.net/

* Battle for Wesnoth - https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth

I'm sure there are many others of note but those are just the few that I have at least some passing familiarity with.

The patch is completely bogus:

https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/commit/4d529dcd2d0102...

Here it tries to avoid overflow by assigning the result of 32 bit arithmetic to a 64 bit type. That's a common mistake.

Teeworlds?

Maybe soldat or teeworlds?

Teeworlds is an absolute blast of a LAN party game. Fist Full of Frags is fun... Armagetron Advanced is a weird change of pace. (Tron lightcycles) Xonotic is a more modernized Unreal Tournament type experience.

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.
