Re: Open-source clone of the Age of Empires II engine
#2AoE2 is the one game I play regularly. It's great that this project was started, but is it still active? Did anyone manage to compile and run it, and if so, how does it feel?
Not to belittle the nice work, but I feel there was a better reason for making this clone a few years ago. There has been a "HD" version on Steam for a couple of years, which finally has good network support and most of the bugs seem ironed out, after almost 20 years! The only thing I still miss is to be able to run it on Linux...

The link shows that the last commit was a week ago... so, yes, it's still active. It compiles and runs, provided you have access to the media assets. It still needs work though.
Having a FLOSS engine for this game is more desirable than having to rely on a proprietary mess like Steam to play AOE2. So I hope this project is eventually successful.

It's a joke. It's obvious that they want people to contribute, as this follows with:
---
To prevent accidental violation of one of those guidelines, you should never
* learn git
* fork the repo
* learn python
* learn c++14
* read the code and documentation
* contribute anything to the code
* contact us
cheers, happy hecking.

The contribution guide in general is pretty well written and welcoming.

Probably a little overdone in terms of sarcasm/2nd degree, to the point that it's not really funny. It references https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/master/doc/contribut... for contribution guidelines though

Also, "Don't note the irony, you idiot." directly above that.
