Spring RTS Engine

I'd recommend using 'dev' rather than '0.1', as for the API itself, both C++ apis are wrapped around a C API, so long as the directory structure is setup right, the library is named correctly ( they all have the same name, so look at another AI for the right filename ), and AIInfo.lua is matching, ...

I assume you mean it doesn't show up in the lobby? If so then we will need to see the ai lua files that the engine reads e.g. https://github.com/Tarendai/Shard/blob/master/data/AIInfo.lua If any of those values do not match the directory structure then this will be the result: https://encrypted-tbn...

That doesn't give me the access to the configuration for the units.... This is unclear. What do you mean by "configuration for the units"? Lua gadgets (and LuaAI's implemented as gadgets) have full access to unit definition data; in general they have fuller access to game world informatio...

I would suggest to choose some game first and if you plan to do new AI, do it in Lua just for this game (or ok, stay in C++ if you really want, but specialize your AI for only one game ). From game developer view and from player view, game-embeded, game-themed AIs are better prepared for its task a...

I'm not a 'new developer' I've developed C/C++ code for 25 years. I've come to like CMake.

It would be nice to know conceptually what an AI was supposed to do; or how it sees the game...

How do I add this AI that I built? I hoped it would be enough to make a directory and copy it in with modified lua settings, but no. Basically I have a copy of shard AI; was thinking this was going to be a much more dynamic process; but it looks like a lot of replicated code (like the entire lua lib...

Someone was working on a touch Interface for Spring. Although it was actually touch and pen, it looked really promising; has any of that been added to spring? could any of that be added soon? I got an acer iconia dual touch screen laptop; then found that there are like no games with touch support. O...
