Its goal is to create an immersive universe with open gameplay inspired by classic titles such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Commander:_Privateer">Privateer</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_(video_game)">Freelancer</a>. </p> <p> The engine is written from scratch in C++ and uses SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL, libjpeg, libpng, zlib and the <a href="http://www.bulletphysics.com/">Bullet physics library</a>. It is a work in progress and evolves with the game as required. </p> <p> The basic components are already in place: players can start a single-player game, or join a network server. They can purchase a ship and explore the universe and can even earn some cash trading cargo. Other important parts are still missing: games can not be saved and there are no weapon nor combat features. </p> <p> The game aims to be fully customizable. Common and easy to edit file formats make it trivial to change most of the game settings and world definitions. </p> <p> Packages of the latest development build are available for windows and linux. </p> </div> <div id="content" class="title"> Content </div> <div class="text"> <p> <ul> <li><a href="installation.html">Installation Instructions</a> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="guide.html">Player Guide</a> <li><a href="manual.html">User Manual</a> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="world.html">Editing the world</a> <li><a href="models.html">Creating models</a> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="attributions.html">Attributions</a> </ul> </p> </div> <div id="contributors" class="title"> Project Contributors </div> <div class="text"> <table><TR> <td>Stijn "Ingar" Buys</td> <td>Project head, programming, modelling, graphics, sounds, world </td></tr> <td>Evan "Odin" Goers</td> <td>Modelling, graphics, world</td> </tr> <td>[mDc]Thorn</td> <td>Design advice, graphics, modelling </td></tr> <td>Cody "Supertanker" Jackson</td> <td>Modelling </td></tr> <td>Josky=KCT=</td> <td>Design advice </td></tr> <td>[mDc]Minisori<br> Gareth<br> DVSoftware </td><td> Alpha testing </td></tr> </table> </div> <div id="internet" class="title"> Internet </div> <div class="text"> <p> The website for Project::OSiRiON can be found at <a href="http://ingar.satgnu.net/osirion">http://ingar.satgnu.net/osirion</a> </p> <p> The official IRC channel is <a href="irc://chat.freenode.net/%23osirion">#osirion</a> on the <a href="http://freenode.net/">FreeNode</a> IRC network. </p> <p> SVN activity is monitored by <a href="http://cia.vc/">CIA.vc</a>, the project pages can be found here: <ul> <li><a href="http://cia.vc/stats/project/Osirion">osirion</a> <li><a href="http://cia.vc/stats/project/osirion-data">osirion-data</a> </ul> </p> </div> <div id="copyright" class="title"> Copyright </div> <div class="text"> <p> The source code is distributed under the terms and conditions of the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html">GNU General Public License</a>. </p> <p> The game data is distributed under the terms and conditions of the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">Create Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License</a>.<br> </p> <p> A few files are distributed under the terms of a different license.
