Spring RTS Engine

Hi,

first off i apologize if i make mention of something thats covered in some "Thread for new posters". I couldnt find any thread like that.

Second, Im doing a Masters in Computer Games Technology. My MAsters dissertation is to create a Support Vector Machine AI to control the enemy AI in a RTS. There are plenty of RTS's on here and im sure at least one will work for me.

What i need is one that isnt too complex. I saw a few mention that there are hundreds of units. That is far too much for my purposes. One with a much more limited number would be better for me.

Also I see there are many ways to implement AI, Lua scripts and various languages. I would prefer to do mine in C++. So a game where that is possible is preffered. Also, I tried to go to the page

Using C++ for making Skirmish AI. But it says:

The action you have requested is limited to users in the group user.

Im wondering what the deal is with that.

Cheers.

That's because "the page does not exist yet", so it prompts you to write the page, which you can only do when logged in.

That's odd, considering C++ is what most Spring AI were programmed in.

Did you have a look around Board index ┬╗ Development ┬╗ AI?

Didnt see that page at all. Cheers man.

Do you human hundreds of units type, or hundreds of units, err, instance, per player, in a typical game? The Spring game "Kernel Panic" has few unit types, and simple gameplay mechanics (but units get built in great swarms ingame).
