Rts Games On Pandora

[Bosbeetle]

So I am new to the open source games communities but Ive been looking for some stuff. So I found this list of open source RTS games.

http://www.junauza.com/2008/09/5-best-free...-real-time.html

that seem to be reasonably good. (this is not a port request, ah well it is a little but probably people are working on it or might start some time)

But do you think the pandora would pull of a reasonable RTS with touchscreen support or would these things be to resource heavy for the more 3d type games like glest.

warcraft 2 would be nice also B) maybe via dosbox

The Pandora should be able to handle a reasonable RTS. Aside from that, I couldn't really draw you a line anywhere.

Adventus will port Wargus(Warcraft 2 OS replacement engine) to Pandora. But you still need to have a legal Warcraft 2 copy, because you need the original data files.

starcraft would also be good if they ever finish stargus. also expect someone will port FreeCNC

On the emulation front, I think Warcraft II needs a Pentium, which probably rules out DOSBox. There was a Warcraft II port for PlayStation, though I am not sure how well it compares to the original.

I've played Warcraft 2 on my N800 with wargus. No need to consider dosbox or psx-emu for it. Wargus supports touchscreen, what is absolutely necessary in an RTS IMO.

I still have the game so I'll be waiting for wargus jippie

Someone on one of the message boards did a port of wz2100 for the Nokia tablets that ran passably (although if I remember correctly there were a few things I couldn't do on my n800 without a keyboard) -- so I'd think it ought to be a good candidate for a Pandora version.

If source became available, I would drool all over myself(more than usual) for Age of Empires 2 The Conquerors.

Love that game even more than curling.

Getting Spring RTS engine (or simmilar engine) running would be great

 

[Thunder]

Since it'll be able to emulate PS1, it'll be able to emulate Warzone 2100!
That's good enough for me!
But yeah, it has to get touch screen enabled.

 

[Mutilator]

hopefully zod or someone will add mouse support for the psx emulator or make it so we can use the touch screen

Who said anything about "emulating" it. WZ2100 has source code and if it can be cleaned up slightly for touchscreen, it'd be pretty good.

There's also always the mother of all RTSes: Dune 2 which I think should run just fine on Dosbox.

 

[OldGamer]

In short, it looks like we'll be spoiled for choice when it comes to RTS games, thanks to the open-source titles plus Amiga, DOS and PlayStation emulators.
It's a pity I'm completely rubbish at RTS games. :lol:

If not the Amiga version will almost certainly run fine!

Command and conquer 1 and 2?

I just hope I can get Red Alert running on my Pandora. (Possibly with the Aftermath data as well)

I am going to try my first real hard port by working on glest, I just hope it will run well enough.

Dune 2 brings back memories
