openage

I ported SFTtech/openage (https://github.com/SFTtech/openage), the open-source C++ reimplementation of Age of Empires II, to WebAssembly with (a lot of) help from Codex. It currently supports one deterministic map, unit control, gathering, construction, combat, a working HUD/minimap and a basic computer opponent using openage’s command system. It does not yet support campaigns, multiplayer, saves, replays, the full technology tree or every original game rule. This is a narrow, experimental openage browser port—not a complete replacement for AoE II. The existing simulation, pathfinding, production and combat code runs in the browser, while rendering was adapted from desktop OpenGL to WebGL 2. Codex replaced the native game loop, Qt UI, filesystem and audio paths with browser-compatible equivalents and reused the original converted graphics

I hope that one day we have a tool that can convert any proprietary binary to source code with a single click. It would be so much fun to have an "open source" version of all games. Currently, there are projects like https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic and https://github.com/SFTtech/openage, but these require years of community effort.

The openage is as well a fantastic project https://github.com/SFTtech/openage

Have you heard of OpenAge? Its an open source thing with a similar aim https://github.com/SFTtech/openage

> I doubt there's layers and layers of template metaprogramming in Ableton Live, or that Maya is a study in inheritance I doubt both of your assertions - public Ableton code uses templates fairly liberally ( https://github.com/Ableton/link/search?q=template&unscoped_q...) - and due to backtrace exposure I know that this is also the case for private implementation things. For Maya just look at the plug-in API : https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2017/ENU/?guid=__files... https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2017/ENU/?guid=__files... https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2017/ENU/?guid=__cpp_r... command pattern, factories, etc... it's textbook OOP. Also, most projects in the wild nowadays are C++11 or later, with actual use of C++11 language features. e.g. look for example OpenAGE, an AOE2 reimplementation - https://github.com/SFTtech

> Put your vector fields in textures at map design time and be done with it. I think you're forgetting there is no map design time in Age of Empires since the maps are RNG. Also, walls, structures, and destroyed forests are critical to gameplay, so it has to be an extremely dynamic process. There are obviously ways to improve the pathfinding, https://github.com/SFTtech/openage has many plans, but your dismissals are starting from wrong assumptions.

Not really playable. See status here: https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/master/doc/status.md

Probably a little overdone in terms of sarcasm/2nd degree, to the point that it's not really funny. It references https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/master/doc/contribut... for contribution guidelines though

Yeah, i love 0 A.D., but i don't consider it a "rewrite". There are at least two ongoing attepts to create open source AoE: - https://github.com/angered-ghandi/OpenAOE (AoE I) - https://github.com/SFTtech/openage (AoE II) HN posts about openage: - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10830652 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8511084 (with some links to other interesting games in the comments)

It appears you can build here https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/master/doc/building....

I've successfully: cloned the repo, installed the deps, compile, loaded the assets, and run python run.py... How do I play?? The game generates a map, but there's a very different HUD, with vim-like modes and lots of keyboard shortcuts on the RHS. Is there a tutorial or short introduction in how to get started? Edit: it's somewhat explained here: https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/master/doc/usage.md

I suppose it's full of Newell references. Found this when browsing the renderer: GameRenderer::~GameRenderer() { // oh noes, release hl3 before that! delete this->gaben; https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/master/libopenage/ga...

You're looking at a wrapper around libopenage, which is written in C++: https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/tree/master/libopenage
