RecoilEngine

That notice is not worded in the best way and hasn't been updated for a while. However, progress has been made. On the Recoil engine releases (https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/RecoilEngine/releases) page, we have had experimental Linux arm64 builds since March of this year. Additionally, several people are trying to get the graphical pipeline and overall build working on Mac; you can follow their progress at https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/RecoilEngine/issues/936 The challenge with arm64 is that Recoil Engine does deterministic lockstep simulation using actual native floats for performance. Porting all of those operations (which were implemented using the mentioned library) to work on arm64 and produce the exact same bit-perfect results as on x86_64 has been challenging.

In the Spring/Recoil RTS game engine[1] we adapted Lua to have deterministic execution allowing synchronous multiplayer simulation. In addition we relatively easily implemented a precise[2] serialization of the Lua VM, allowing us to support save/load for games with no code required from their side. In other languages these would require much more effort. [1] https://github.com/spring/spring or https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring (yay for forks!) [2] Preserving the order of iteration on items in a hash table after deserialization and further manipulations.

macOS dropped when Apple stopped supporting more advanced OpenGL features. > linux port is riddled with bugs That's... interesting... as many of the engine and game devs also play on linux (and a considerable part of the playerbase) If you're looking for the codebase Zero-K and most previously spring mods are based upon you should look at: https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring

Games have their own distribution method, but you can download the source and the engine will handle it. In ZeroKs case (https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/). The most straightforward method to compile the engine reliably I'd say is with the docker container: https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spring/wiki/SpringRTS-B... Edit: spelling,links
