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 development in general.
<p>
The goal is to create an engine that uses common file formats and a game world that is easy to edit.
In other words, you should not have to be a rocket scientist to create something yourself.
<p>
World data is loaded from plain text .ini files, object models are loaded from quake2-style .map files.
Support files for GtkRadiant 1.5 are included with the game data.
<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.
