About Nuclide
|
|
|
|
The Nuclide project produces a freely available game-logic component and
|
|
development platform on top of FTEQW; which is the engine we use.
|
|
Our goals is to create a modern research base for new advancements, as well
|
|
as to have a stable base with a good API for games.
|
|
|
|
- Client-side predicted movement and inputs for things like weapons-systems
|
|
- Lots of well documented objects to use in level formats supported by FTEQW
|
|
- Reference implementations for a lot of features exlusive to FTEQW compared
|
|
to other idTech engines
|
|
- Designed to be familar to developers who're used to GoldSrc and Source engine

1. Why might I want to use it?
|
|
|
|
You want to develop a game using a lot of complex and well-tested objects
|
|
which might be tedious to implement on your own.
|
|
You want to run or make modifications for a game using Nuclide and need full
|
|
control over what you can do.
|
|
|
|
2. How free is Nuclide?
|
|
|
|
Everything in Nuclide is free. The copyright terms for the game-logic are
|
|
very permitting. Nuclide does not use the GPL as a point of reference, it
|
|
instead uses a ISC-like license. This means you can use, copy, modify and
|
|
distribute the code and work resulting from it for any purpose.
|
|
Please read the very short 'license' document for details.
|
|
|
|
3. What are the alternatives?
|
|
|
|
Implementing systems such as prediction, complex map objects and entities on
|
|
your own or licensing another engine such as Source that ships with its own
|
|
Source SDK Base.
