# emPYre
|
||
|
|
(should change as soon as the game is more complete)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## About
|
||
|
|
EmPYre is an (experimental) python 3 implementation of the old Empire game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Why?
|
||
|
|
The current port on Ubuntu is slow AF and also the control-scheme like many tools from that era it didn't era very well. (ignoring features we see in modern open-source RTS-games these days)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Requirements
|
||
|
|
* Python 3.4+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Developer notes
|
||
|
|
TODO:
|
||
|
|
* Look into how the original version did the battle system ( units vs units vs cities )
|
||
|
|
* Look into ASCII, Colours, blinking and other flashy things
|
||
|
|
* + land
|
||
|
|
* . sea
|
||
|
|
* ^ (mountains?)
|
||
|
|
* Look into nCurses to deal with the interface issues
|
||
|
|
* Different parts of the screen
|
||
|
|
* Pop-up a window if something is required?
|
||
|
|
* Look into how to do this
|
||
|
|
* Separate the logic from the interface?
|
||
|
|
* Multiple opponents?
|
||
|
|
* Multi-player?
|
||
|
|
* Multi-session multi-player?
|
||
|
|
* Modern systems
|
||
|
|
* Waypoints?
|
||
|
|
* Build-queues?
|
||
|
|
* Patrols?
