> The CSC department would like to identify an open source RTS engine.

> We want to use it as research tool on a multi-year project and

> also as a tool to teach in our Artificial Intelligence course.

> We could use some help figuring out which platform would be best.

> but if some of you have knowledge or experience with

> other platforms, then we would certainly appreciate the

> input.

> 

> In general, our requirements are :

> 

>  - free: can't require commercial game even for graphic/sound resources

>  - cross-platform (linux & mac first, windows is less of a priority)

>  - hackability: have to be able to plug in external AI (not necessarily

> sockets, but something better than pure hacking)

>  - customizability: have to be able to build new environments

> 

> Thanks,
