Real-Time Strategy Game Engine

With a friend we wanted to make a clone of the famous RTS game Age of Empires from scratch.

How hard can it be right? No need to say that this project was a failure, but we've managed to implement some interesting stuff, still nowhere close to a complete game.

Features

• Entity-Components architecture
• Client/Server network architecture
• Resources manager
• Screens system (Splash screen, Pause, Game, ...)
• 2D isometric renderer
• UI system with dirty system
• Text box
• Check box
• Combo box
• Button
• Scroll bar
• Serializer
• Map loader
• Map editor
• Embedded debugging console
• Errors & logging system
• Sound system
• Game entities
• Path finding using A*

I wrote the renderer, UI system and resources manager while my friend worked on the networking system and collisions handling. Our engine was able to handle quite a bit of entities...

Here's the first entity we've sent through the internet!
