Introduction

  • Game-logic is entirely scripted in Lua, so SFZ is highly flexible and the need to recompile is rare
  • The Ogre3D engine provides a solid foundation for hardware acceleration and graphical effects
  • An abstract interface to sound allows the use of FMod or OpenAL and supports MP3 and OGG
  • To ensure the longterm health of the project, we keep the code as modular and capsuled as possible
  • An Auto-Updater simplifies updating and can handle conflicts with local changes reasonably (svn based)
    • If the game doesn't run or crashes after an auto update, you might need to recompile.

Contribution
