Warzone2100
Warzone 2100 is an open-source real-time strategy game engine focused on tactical combat and base building. It operates as a real-time strategy game engine utilizing a data-driven asset pipeline and providing cross-platform support.
The project features a modular unit design system that uses a technology tree to construct combat entities by combining chassis, propulsion, and weapon components. It includes a lockstep multiplayer network engine to synchronize game state across distributed clients for competitive matches, as well as a JavaScript game scripting framework for implementing custom logic, AI behaviors, and campaign sequences.
The engine supports AI combat simulation, deterministic network gaming, and procedural unit design. Capabilities extend to creating custom maps and developing structured game campaigns for single-player play.
