SPRING Game Engine

About


Spring is a project aiming to create a new and versatile RTS Engine. It features:

Open source (GPLv2).

Multi-plattform (Windows & Linux, MacOSX in progress).

Written in C++, using OpenGL, OpenAL, SDL, boost, 7zip, Lua.

Very extensive Lua interface, allowing gameplay changes and custom (G-)UIs.

Large battles limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 30000 units and up to 250 players.

Fully 3D combat in land, sea, and air, with realistic weapon trajectories (physics engine).

Full featured lobby clients to easily play multiplayer games with hundreds of players just waiting for you at any time. Including automatic game and map downloading, chat, friends list etc.

Complex 3rd party AIs (Bots) that can work very competently in many cases with multiple Spring engine games and mods.

Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.

A powerful UI designed to minimize unnecessary micromanagement that is easily extensible via a Lua API.

A lot of third party widgets to improve the GUI, the gameplay and the visual.

Many different Games, made just for Spring.

Hundreds of large and highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles, fully 3D with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective bump mapped water, and custom skyboxes.
