Many people have been attempting and clamoring for a PSP RTS game. If this engine was ported, all the mods for it already readily available. Or if we want, we could easily pop out mods for everything from Starcraft to Red Alert with this too. In fact, I could see this someday being as popular as Beats of Rage.

I was wondering if porting something like this is even feasible.

From official site...

"Stratagus is a free cross-platform real-time strategy game engine, capable of playing against human or computer opponents, network or local. It can be used to build RTS games similar to C&C, WC2, AOE, and Tzar and runs under Linux, BSD, MacOS and Windows"

The engine and source code is available for download here...

and a couple of the games already made for it are available for download here...

Remember, all of the above are under GNU and open source. They can modded, ported, or distributed at will as long as they're not used for commercial gain.

The innovative card based stratagus RTS is available here...

I quickly scanned through the code and it looks like it could be a fairly easy port.

I'm so incredibly happy to hear that.

Would anyone that knows coding be able to port it. I am certain that the PSP community would be very appreciative.

Eek. I just looked at minimum specs, the porting may be easy but to get it running at a full speed may be another matter entirely.
