OpenWar

An alternative Warcraft: Orcs & Humans game engine written in Saurus, implemented as a libretro core.

Note: This is a complete rewrite. The original OpenWar was written in Go using SDL2. This version is written in Saurus and runs as a libretro core in RetroArch.

Status

The project is in early development. Currently implemented:

libretro core integration
Basic HUD layout (minimap, command buttons, resource panel)
Placeholder terrain rendering with scrolling
Input handling (joypad, mouse, edge scrolling)

The game is not yet playable. Game data loading and actual gameplay are not implemented.

Requirements

Saurus compiler
GCC (or compatible C compiler)
RetroArch (to run the core)

Building

make

This produces build/openwar_libretro.so.

Running

make run

Or load the core manually in RetroArch:

retroarch -L build/openwar_libretro.so
