Glest Advanced Engine is a community driven project which extends and improves on Glest. It aims to provide features and tools that help people develop higher quality 3D real-time strategy games for all major platforms. This requires lua, OpenAL and physfs. Optionally glestae can use wxGTK/wxPython and cppunit. wxGTK/wxPython will build the optional gae_mapeditor, gae_g3dviewer, and glest_configurator.
