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.

= System requirements =
=== Minimum ===
* 1.6 GHz single core CPU with SSE
* 1 GB of RAM
* 128 MB graphics card (As of 104.0 OpenGL 3.0 is required meaning older integrated GPUs such as Intel G45 are '''not''' supported)
* Roughly 500 MB of hard drive space, depending on how many maps and games you download.

=== 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

For more information on system requirements see [[Requirements]] or for help see [[FAQ]].

= Features =
* Many different [[Games]], made just for Spring.
* Play online, on a LAN or offline Single Player.
* Large battles limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 5000 units.
* Large, highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles, fully 3D with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective water, and custom skyboxes.
* Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.
* Fully 3D combat in land, sea, and air, with realistic weapon trajectories (physics engine).
* Complex 3rd party AIs, some of which are quite good.
* An extremely powerful UI, designed to minimize unnecessary micromanagement.
* Utf8 font rendering
* Frequent additions and bugfixes.

= Development =
* Open source (GPLv2).
* Multi-plattform (Windows & Linux, MacOSX in progress).
* Written in C++, using OpenGL, Lua, Assimp, streflop, OpenAL, FreeType2, DevIL, SDL2, GLEW, boost, 7zip, zlib, libVorbis, libOgg, LuaSocket, squish, rgEtc1.

= Content Creation =
Thanks to the ability of the Spring engine to run lots of different content, it is possible to
* [[Game_and_Unit_development|Build your own games.]]
* [[Map_development|Create your own maps.]]
* [[AI:Development|Program AI players]] in several languages.
