Free Wars is a 2D turn-based strategy game, whose gameplay is based on the ones of Advanced Wars series.

• For each player, the available units and their base attributes are exactly the same
• Capture bases to earn fund every turn and use the fund to build units
• The attack damage of a unit are greatly affected by its HP (50% damage at 50% HP for example)
• Each player gets energy through battles in game, and may spend the energy on various passive/active skills

• Use cocos2d-lua v3.9 as the game engine
• Use Tiled as the map editor

The game is now playable. By now, the followings are implemented:

• Online multi-player combat
• Passive/active skills
• Chat in-game
• Game replay
• Many optional war settings, such as fog of war, starting fund, and so on
• Team
• Weather (as advanced settings in game)
• Campaign

More functionality is being developed, such as score for campaign, skills, and so on.

The game is designed so that it can be played with on the following platforms:

• Windows 7 or above (download and play)
• Android (installation required)

If you want to have a try, feel free to email to [email protected], and I will send you the win32 binary files or an android apk.

The game uses cocos2d-lua v3.9 as its engine, which is cross-platform, so you can develop the game on most desktop platforms.

A typical way to setup the development environment:

1. Download the engine and unzip it
2. Create an empty lua project using the tools in the engine and compile it (for details, please reach for the documents of the engine)
3. Download the files of this project, then copy them to the project above, overwriting the existing files

Feel free to comment/play/contribute to the code/game.

Thank you very much!
