	The Osirion Project
</H1>

<p>
	The Osirion project is a game engine in the early stages of development.
	It's written in C++ and uses SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL and zlib. 
	With this project I want to get some insight in the involved 
	technologies and game develpment in general.
</p>

<H2>
	Project::OSiRiON
</H2>

<p>
	Project::OSiRiON is the name of the game that uses the Osirion Project engine.
	The game is located in a still unnamed region of space with gameplay inspired
	by games like <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/freelancer/">Freelancer</a> and 
	<A href="http://wcuniverse.sourceforge.net/announcements.htm">Privateer</a>.
</p>

<p>
	Right now the game world is a rather large sandbox. You can fly around in
	different ships and explore the solar system, but important features
	like weapons, docking and collision detection are not yet implemented.
</p>
