TTRTS

The Tiny Terminal RTS where the players write their AIs

Introduction

A simple terminal based RTS game that uses text files to communicate game state and unit commands.

TTRTS is from the ground up designed to be a fun way to practice programming. Any programming language than can handle file I/O can be used to make an AI for TTRTS, and this extensibility allows for any type of programmer to enjoy designing and playing against their friends.

  • Linux/OSX - currently no support for Windows, tracked with Issue #9
