From Spring
Jump to navigationJump to search

GSoC idea: A new map format.

Why

Spring has at the moment two map formats. SM2 which is used mostly but old and requires a lot of storage. SM3 is newer but still isn't perfect and doesn't have brand new technologies included, like most new commercial map formats have.

Required skills

  • C++
  • OpenGL

Difficulty

Estimated: medium to hard

  • Design a new map format, communicate with the community
  • Implement a first draft
  • Extend the draft until the map format is playable
  • Add visual improvements to the map format
