OpenDungeons

OpenDungeons is an open source, real time strategy game sharing game elements with the Dungeon Keeper series and Evil Genius. Players build an underground dungeon which is inhabited by creatures. Players fight each other for control of the underground by indirectly commanding their creatures, directly casting spells in combat, and luring enemies into sinister traps.

The game is developed by a friendly community of developers and artists, and has now reached a quite playable and enjoyable status after more than 6 years of development.

How to play

Future versions will have an in-game tutorial, but for now, you can use the following resources to learn the basic gameplay concepts:

You can play singleplayer levels using the Skirmish menu, or host/join a multiplayer game by using the corresponding menus.

Be part of the community

As free software aficionados, we value community-based development and welcome any willing contributor regardless of their skills. Giving us feedback about the gameplay, or reporting bugs on our tracker, is already a very relevant way of contributing to the development of this game, so please get in touch!

Build instructions

If you retrieve the source code of OpenDungeons and want to have a go at building it yourself, have a look at platform-specific build instructions on our wiki: https://github.com/OpenDungeons/OpenDungeons/wiki/Compile

In a few words, to build OpenDungeons, you need the following libraries:

  • OGRE SDK (1.9.x)
  • Boost (same version that OGRE was linked against)
  • CEGUI SDK (0.8.x)
  • SFML (2.x)

You will also need a recent CMake version (2.8 or newer) and a compiler that supports C++11 features reasonably well, i.e.:

  • Linux: GCC 4.8+
  • Windows: MSVS 2013 Express or MinGW 4.8+

On an UNIX system, you can then run:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -jX    // X is the number of CPU cores that you want to allocate  

And run the opendungeons output binary.

Contributing code

If you want to contribute code, you should take a look at our coding guidelines: https://github.com/OpenDungeons/OpenDungeons/wiki/Code-Guidelines

It contains a rather deep introduction on how we name, indent, structure and extend our code. It also has some performance optimisation tips.
