The Spring Engine

Post by Frank_Horrigan »

First off, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Frank. I lurk a lot.

Second, I'd like to make it entirely clear that I cannot begin to understand the amount of work put into the current engine, but that I appreciate every iota of it, because it has served to make Warzone 2100, a game that I have loved since I first played the demo, a better game.

Third, I'd like to mention something I came across, the Spring Engine.

http://springrts.com/

It's an open source RTS engine, and I was wondering if it was at ALL possible to use it in order to upgrade Warzone 2100 further. I don't know much about video game design, or coding, but I just wanted to know if it was at all possible. I don't know the limitations of the Spring Engine, as I've only just discovered it. Feel free to call me a blithering idiot and shoot me down. ;)

will do neither (name calling and shooting one down are neither productive nor needed.)... the engine we are forced to use is the only one we are able to use due to it would take at least several years of several people typing in code just to get where we are today... thing is we have very few persons that code. and welcome to the forums.... any devs wishing to refute what i have said ... getrdone. xD

For all your lurking, you haven't read this extremely common FAQ question? ;)

Haha, I'm sure I have, but it was a while ago, and so I've forgotten by now. Oh well.
