This repo is very likely abandoned in favor of osp-magnum

osp-magnum is based on many of the lessons learned from this repo, so really nothing much gone to waste.

Urho3D Open Space Program

Another Open Space Program project, but made with Urho3D.

Build instructions can be found in the Wiki.

If you have any cool ideas, discuss in the Discord Server. This is an open source project, yet there's mostly one guy working on it, so a ton of technical documentation is being written in the Wiki.
