riposte

A clone of Civilization IV (2005). It is written from scratch (no game engine) and has, at various points in time, consisted of C++ or Lua code. Now, the whole implementation is in Rust. The legacy C++ code is still available in the src directory.

The graphics rendering uses dume, a 2D renderer I wrote on top of WebGPU, and the UI is based on duit, another one of my libraries.

Features

• Multiplayer support via networking, proxied through the server in the backend application
• Procedural map generation using Simplex noise, Poisson sampling, and some other clever tricks
• Basic AI players
• Economy simulation
• Combat simulation
• Cultural influence
• Unit optimal pathfinding
• Many UI components to view the internal economy and production calculations
• Many sound effects from the original game, as well as music dependent on the current era
• Most of the units and technologies of Civ IV through the Medieval Era
