Fortress Commander is a game about protecting your fortress from incoming waves of enemies. It descends from the RTS genre, and incorporates many classic RTS game mechanics, such as passive resource gathering, a battle system, and assigning actions and destinations to controllable entities (using the game engine's implementation of A* pathfinding). The game is implemented in its own custom Entity-Component System and pub-sub Event Manager. The graphics were entirely written in OpenGL.
- An Entity-Component-System framework that we use extensively in the game
- An event manager used for decoupling events from their handlers
- A tiling system complete with unit/structure creation and world editing
- A* pathfinding system
- An OpenGL-based 2D graphics interface
- Input Handling
- Atlassing Texture System
- A window manager wrapped around GLFW3
- Text Rendering from Freetype
- Perlin Noise-based Terrain Generation
Fortress Commander implements the following systems:
- Pathfinding
- Battle
- Particles
- EnemySpawning
- Resources
