Red Horizon

This repository is an archive of work I started several years ago to attempt to recreate the original 2D Command & Conquer (C&C) games. The most useful outcome of this project has been a set of file conversion tools and working code examples of how to decode/encode various file formats from those games.

While I don't think I have the time any more to fulfil the original goal of running the original Red Alert campaign missions with this (there's that C&C Remaster project now!), I update this project every so often when I feel the urge to work on smaller things like graphics rendering, playing sounds, creating CLI tools, and general software architecture for games as opposed to my day-to-day which is web development.

Installation

To use the CLI tools (file conversion, playing back audio/video, viewing maps/units), check the redhorizon-cli project for installation instructions.

To work with classic C&C codecs and file formats in your own projects, check the redhorizon-classic project for installation instructions.
