Making a Clone of Civ II

[Blake00]

What's the status of the game?

Funnily enough @axx dropped by the Civ2 discord just 2 weeks ago and gave us an update.. it's a publicly accessible place so hopefully he'll be fine with me copying his post below for curious folks here...

Don't know how many have been following this project
https://github.com/axx0/Civ2-clone
A lot of work has been done recently, you can load a game it should draw a map, you can move around. The game is running on a loop with 60 fps, this is a big change compared to the original which was static - event based.

I asked him about a sharable demo (for non programmers to check out) we can use to show off their work..

I'll probably do some sort of an update when the game gets in a quasi playable state. Right now there's not much to show off in terms of gameplay, but ruebene has been really pushing hard to get this project going.

Does it load ToT saves too?

Does it load ToT saves too?

On the to-do list, apparently.

Great to see the project is progressing steadily on Github.

I have a question about Civ2/ToT's engine. What graphic API does Civ2/ToT use? PCGamingwiki page(https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Civilization_II:_Test_of_Time) mentions WinG and Direct3D at the same time. But which one exactly?
Also what graphic API will this Civ2 clone project use?

We're using Raylib, so the project is using OpenGL
