About Nuclide
|
|
|
|
The Nuclide project produces a freely available game-logic component and
|
|
development platform on top of FTEQW.
|
|
Our goals is to create a modern research base for new advancements, features
|
|
as well as support games whose formats are supported by FTEQW but their code
|
|
isn't freely accessible.
|
|
|
|
1. Why might I want to use it?
|
|
|
|
Nuclide is for you when:
|
|
|
|
- You want to play one of our supported games on the platform/arch of your
|
|
choice.
|
|
- You want to develop a game using a lot of complex and well-tested objects
|
|
we have written for you.
|
|
- You want to make modifications for a game we support and have 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 is the release cycle?
|
|
|
|
At the current moment, there is no strict release cycle as everthing is
|
|
still very early (albeit usable). I am aiming for a stable release cycle of
|
|
every 3-6 months once we leave Beta.
|
|
|
|
4. How can I support the project?
|
|
|
|
Currently, the only way to support the efforts of the one-man-team behind
|
|
this, is to use https://www.paypal.me/eukara/
|
|
|
|
It was only possible for Nuclide to get this far because of the contributions
|
|
of single individuals from the free-software community.
|
|
Thanks you so much, everyone who has contributed!
