I basically suck at Rocket League (can't get beyond Plat.III in any mode), but I still enjoy playing it daily. Turn off ALL chat except tactical team quick chats, otherwise it's a toxic quagmire.
What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!
This is rocket league!
I played so much Rocket League before it went free-to-play. Seeing this repo made me watch some youtube videos, and remember what a great game it is. It's been tweaked and polished until it feels perfect. I think getting an open source version of the game to that level would require a lot of work, so I wish you well.
Curious: why Eigen for math? Isn't it oriented towards academic purposes? Wouldn't something like Terathon be faster? https://github.com/EricLengyel/Terathon-Math-Library
I seriously, seriously think that in the future (possibly far future) various eSports will all be derived from a few open-source base games. The ability of game developers to leverage licensing, contracts with orgs, etc. to lock down a competitive ecosystem with exclusivity results in inability for a "free market" to develop around running events and broadcasts. Rocket League and League of Legends come to mind here,…
I've been playing different styles and genres of video games ever since Wolfenstein 3D and I consider myself pretty adept at playing them. However, Rocket League is one game that I just can't master. I've tried, really really tried, but I just can't play it with any amount of skill. It's a shame, as it looks really fun and I hear my son and his mates having a ball when they play.

Looks just like Rocket League! Seriously though, this is awesome and the single source file makes it much easier to poke around the source without cloning. Thanks for sharing!

Hard disagree. With the exception of 1v1 fighting games, centralized/official servers are _required_ for esports to even work. Peer-to-peer communication models and self-hosted client-server games both are filled with cheaters. How would players ever feel comfortable competing on community/self-hosted server? "Esports" games require absolutely massive communities (e.g., marketing) and no open-source game has even com…
If by "sustain an esport" you mean as a profitable enterprise, then probably not. Is that the best metric though? Open source games can become popular enough for competitive scenes to emerge; Warsow is an example of this.
Popular enough for competitive play but not enough to get corporate sponsors seems fine to me. It's probably not healthy to be promoting the idea (to kids particularly) that playing video games can be a profitable career.
Do a flip reset :)
