Spring is a versatile 3D RTS game engine. Using extensively Lua for scripting game-specific code to make nearly every aspect of the engine customizable, from GUI, to unit AI, to pathfinding.
Spring is a project aiming to create a new and versatile RTS Engine. It features:


* Open source (GPLv2).
= System requirements =
* Multi-plattform (Windows & Linux, MacOSX in progress).
=== Minimum ===
* Written in C++, using OpenGL, OpenAL, FreeType2, DevIL, SDL, GLEW, boost, 7zip, Lua and streflop.
* 1.6 GHz single core CPU with SSE
* Very extensive Lua interface, allowing gameplay changes and custom (G-)UIs.
* 1 GB of RAM
* Large battles limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 30000 units and up to 250 players.
* 128 MB graphics card (As of 104.0 OpenGL 3.0 is required meaning older integrated GPUs such as Intel G45 are '''not''' supported)
* Full 3D combat in land, sea and air, with realistic weapon trajectories (physics simulation engine).
* Roughly 500 MB of hard drive space, depending on how many maps and games you download.
* Full featured lobby clients to easily play multiplayer games on LAN or online, with hundreds of players just waiting for you at any time. Including automatic game and map downloading, chat, friends list etc.
* Complex 3rd party Skirmish AIs (Bots), supporting special game types and many Spring games. They can be coded in Lua, C, C++, Python, all JVM languages (eg. Java), and more languages can be added.
* Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.
* A powerful UI designed to minimize unnecessary micromanagement that is easily extensible via a Lua API.
* A lot of third party widgets to improve the GUI, the gameplay and the visuals.
* Many different [[Games]], made just for Spring.
* Hundreds of large and highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles in full 3D, with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective bump mapped water, and custom skies.

=== Recommended ===
* 3 GHz dual core CPU or better
* 2 GB of RAM or more
* 512 MB graphics card or better
* 5 GB of hard drive space to accommodate more maps and games
