Nuclide - Software Development Kit
Software Development Kit, built around idTech with focus on advanced features and clean-room implementations of true-and-tested game-logic frameworks.
All of this is written in QuakeC, but there's also some GLSL and shell scripts in here.
You can integrate an engine (FTE) and level design tool (WorldSpawn) directly from this tree. See the 'Building' section for details. They're the projects actually based on idTech (GPL) code and therefore are in their own repositories. All the code here is ISC-Licensed.
The advantage of our centralized model is that the toolchain more or less integrates with the engine seamlessly. This avoids a common problem developers have of trying to use tools primarily designed for one specific idTech game with a custom engine that's trying to do more advanced stuff than the former.
Building
The 'build_engine.sh' script checks out the FTE Subversion repository and keeps it up to date, while also building binaries that are crucial to running and building the game-logic (which is all QuakeC) and putting them into the ./bin directory. Launch the engine with the 'nuclide' and 'nuclide-ds' scripts.
The 'build_editor.sh' script clones the WorldSpawn Git repository and installs them into the ./bin directory. Use the 'worldspawn' and 'vmap' scripts to launch to ensure consistency.
The 'build_game.sh' script will build the game-logic for the games included using the QuakeC compiler present in the ./bin directory. If the compiler isn't found it will ask you to build them.
For best results, symlink the desired scripts into your home directory's bin folder. The scripts are designed to be aware of their actual location in the filesystem.
Support
Join us on irc.vera-visions.com and chat if you're interested in using this in production. All this is provided to you for free as-is otherwise.
Special Thanks
To id software and specifically John Carmack for having released the sources of various idTech games under the GPL2 license, without which we would have no engine for Nuclide.
David Walton for FTEQW and the FTEQCC compiler, which is the brain of this SDK.
Timothee Besset and the GtkRadiant contributors.
