What is OpenRTS ?
OpenRTS is a 3D real-time strategy game engine coded in java 1.8, powered by jMonkeyEngine 3 and open-source.
OpenRTS intend to support any kind of common real-time strategy gameplay, design and control, provinding it's own editor and a versatile data structure.
The project also wants to be a pool of RTS ressources, giving access to a large and free-to-use set of maps, models, sounds, armies data and gameplays.
But OpenRTS is under developpement. There is a long way to go and a huge and growing TODO list. We will be glad to receive any of your contributions !
Watch the engine in action !
How to set up ?
The project uses Gradle to support any IDE, or none.
Just clone the repository, then run at commandline in rootdirectory "./gradlew run" (or "gradlew.bat run" on windows).
You want to set up in your favorite IDE like jMonkey SDK or Eclipse? Simple ! Please follow this page of the wiki.
The engine is set by default with a test dataset and some example maps you can load.
- F1 : Game Mode (static iso camera)
- F2 : Editor Mode
- F3 : First Person view (for testing purpose)
