Open Surge Forum

It has long been trying to find open source projects in the area and found a few. Almost all of them abandoned or have not been updated for a long time and have not achieved adequate quality. But one still gives hope. This prosonic engine. 've Heard of him? Its objectives are different from opensonic, but there is something interesting and possibly helpful:

1. Physics is fully consistent with the original of s1, s2, s3, s & k, as it is ported from assembly code ROM in pure C. Even a video where it is checked 100% accuracy(and many more).

2. He also uses Allegro.

3. There is a leveleditor.

4. There are (or will be) built-in scripting engine in LUA or as mmx.

5. Of the original game ported mode split-screen.

6. There are programs to convert the levels from the original series in their native format.

(Others see in the roadmap and outline). The author intends to implement support game on the network and multi-player. But he has not yet opened the code. What do you think about this? possible to learn something from this project?

The classic physics is great, but I meet some posts in what people want to extend game engine and me too. I think that in mix with sonic physics will be interesting portals. I mean portals like in Portal from Valve, did anyone played it? What do you think about it?

because I`am russian, I can make a russian translation. I know that Open Sonic must be patched to represent a characters of russian alphabet. I know C language a little and maybe can make a patch, but developers, I think, knows better how to patch. Any ideas?
