Updates have been a little non-exist the past few months, but we have been making great progress behind the scenes.
I hope to make a little preview video soon showing the engine in action!

Here is a little run down of some of new logics and features coded in recently.
- The engine now loads and renders all RA maps correctly -
- Building Animations and Animations in general play -
- User <-> Object Interaction (No path-finding yet) -
- Ore Growth Logic -
- Palette Scrolling -
- Fully working cross platform deployment between Win / Linux / Unix (FreeBSD etc) / OSX -

The core of the engine is pretty much complete, now we just have to implement the next layer of game logic.
Once this is complete, we should not be that far away from a playable demo!

It's easy to forgot I started this project back in 2007/08 #Tongue

Good job so far.

Pathfinding is usually the hardest problem in a RTS game and most of them fails to implement it properly. The starting point for it is:

The problem is that you objects with dynamic position that is controlled by enemy or civilian factions and you also need the ability to poke friendly idle units, so others with a proper objective may pass. Good luck with it.

I'm super excited to try this out when it becomes public/playable. I did want to say that the Soviet red in the screenshot looks a tad too saturated to me.

Very impressive CCHyper, don't forget CnCnet5 and all those TS patches wouldn't have been possible without you.

Do you know what Westwood used to solve path finding?
