We are currently working on the Orxonox-v2 0.2 Alpha Codename: Bellatrix release.

Summary

Orxonox consists out of a variety of modules on which we're working constantly. A list of our plans can be found in this section. Check out our working topics to see what we are working on right now and for even more up-to-date information you may have a look on the timeline. If you're interested in our code, just browse the source.

People

At the moment we have approximately 8 coders and 2 modelers working on the project. This number changes all the time, because a lot of us work on it during their free time and only a part is done by students who get credit points for their work on Orxonox.

Playabilty

We want present a list to summarize the modules:

• We have a rough concept of the universe where we have placed in our story. We're working out details as we go on with the mission design.
• You can fly a space ship! Unfortunately in the level there is not much to do yet. Anyways: You can fly around and check out the level.
• Levels are loaded via an XML-file. There you can easily add or remove models to have a look at them. Be careful though when editing game data.
• Models of space ships, drones, robots and space stations are in use to populate the level with life and excitement. For better atmosphere we also have a variety of asteroids and space junk.
• Shoot with your lasers! Hit your enemies with your weapons and watch the graphical effects. Unfortunately you cannot destroy anything.
• Observe basic AI which controls ships flying in formation and evading obstacles.
