About
An open source game reimplementing Earth 2140 gameplay using original game files.
The project aims to reproduce the overall gameplay experience while adding a modern game features
that are not available in original game.
NOTE: The project is still under heavy development and not much happens yet.
Requirements and libraries
For compiling:
- Meson
- C++17 capable compiler
This project includes these libraries as git submodules or bundled:
- spdlog (git submodule) - Adds log file and console handling and formatting
- stb (git submodule) - Contains various libs
- cnl (git submodule) - Fixed point library
- json (git submodule) - JSON library for reading and writting JSON strings
This project requires to have the following libraries installed:
- LibSDL 2.0 - Handles graphics, input and basic filesystem
- GLEW - Hadles the set up of OpenGL context
- glm - Library containing utilies for OpenGL related operations
This projects uses optional libraries to enhance some functionalities:
- Boost 1.66 or newer - Allows to list directories and generate readable stacktraces in platform independent manner

- Linux:
The executable should be called
opene2140
- MacOS:
The executable should be called

Running
Original game files are required to be located in folder assets in the same path as game executable.
WD archive files are the original game format used for storing assets and is the preffered method.
Directories takes precedence over WD files when loading and this method is mainly oriented for development.
The following game assets must be present in WD file or directory form:
| WD file |
