xdriller

Xdriller is a portable Puzzle/Arcade video game.

Xdriller is an open source project developed by me ... [More] , durmieu. This is a part time hobby done in my spare time to learn how to create all the bits that make a game (models, graphics, music, code...) and put them together in something that works. Although Linux is the main development environment, the game also compiles under Windows.

[More] in the Dune world is defined by Wikipedia as a "Cave warren inhabited by a Fremen tribal community; in the Fremen language, 'Place of assembly in time of danger'." This project was born out of the need to escape todays dangerous and bug-filled strategy games. Games such as Command and Conquer: Generals which have failed to meet the expectations of gamers, and have failed to innovate, have gone in the opposite direction of entertainment by adding pretty colours and adorable graphics -- instead of actually focusing on producing a rock-solid and innovative game. What are our goals?The primary goals are to develop a real-time strategy engine that is: Fast Free Multi-threaded (To take advantage of todays multi-core processors) Multi-platform (So we can all play) Fun! The secondary goals include: Supporting Dune 2 Supporting Command and Conquer: Tiberium Dawn Supporting Command and Conquer: Red Alert Developing an Artificial Intelligence environment Playing massive maps with many people When will EnterTheSietch be ready?There is currently no planned timeline. What engine / libraries are being used?The only library that will be used is MyPurpleEngine. Is there a forum?Yes! We have a sub-forum in the MyPurpleEngine forum: http://mypurpleengine.org/index.php?board=7.0 [Less]
