BonzayRTS engine

BonzayRTS is an open source and free project designed for users who want an easy and comfortable way for building a RTS (Real-Time Strategy) engine.

BonzayRTS provides support for isometric RTS games, clear, object-oriented design, separation of GUI (Graphical User Interface) from game code, and it includes networking code examples.

The project also provides basic entities for a real-time strategy game, with implemented GRP and SDL components.

A proof-of-concept clone of the popular StarCraft game is also created using this engine, called OpenCraft. However, the project's goal is to have a functional Linux version first.
