The EngineEven though this is not usual anymore today, we started this project by programming our own game engine. We did this because we wanted to understand how games work. After a first working version of Orxonox we changed route and switched to Ogre to enable Orxonox to thrive from the knowledge of a big open source development community.HistoryOrxonox is an open source project that started in February 2004. At the moment we are about 20 active developers mainly from the ETH Zurich and other Swiss universities. Our goal is to create a funny and exciting 3D action game. In fact Orxonox shall become the most furious 3D action game the open source game community has ever seen! Requirements: · Cmake · SDL · OGRE · CEGUI
