Some of you may remember this game from quite a few years back. This game has progressed quite a bit back from its starting point in 2003. The game reminds me of Age of Empires 2 except that it is completely free and recently went open source. They are looking for software developers to join in on fun. Please take a look at the trailer(link below) and/or screen shot and if this doesn't make you wet your pants I have no idea what else will. All you need is SVN code repository and then you can start development in a Windows, Linux or Mac environment. Trailer can be found -

">here - Please let me know what you think of the game.

What was your role in its development?

Do you have to be a part of this 'group' of software developers in order to view the code? I've been slowly working on an RTS myself (a very very simple one mind you), and would love to see the AI/Pathfinding aspects of a game like this. Can anyone and everyone view the code?

Also, I assume its in C++/OpenGL/Direct X?

He said it went open source. As I understand it, that means the code is available for you to use as you like, provided you are clear the code is under the GPL.

I'm not a legal expert though. I could be mistaken.

EDIT: Here is the link to the GPL
