Preface: This is just a side project whilst I am working on my main one (which isn't PSP related). This is being done for several reasons:

1. Learn Lua
2. See if LuaPlayer or Lua can handle a RTS system on its own (which it honestly looks like it can't).
3. As a welcome distraction to the main project.

I haven't tested it on a PSP but it works fine in LuaPlayer for Windows. I appreicate if someone can tell me the FPS when 'played' in the PSP's Luaplayer.

At the moment only basic scrolling and radar really work but a lot of the framework is there so the new features won't take much doing.

The graphics were taken from the author of CS Stratergised (sp?) which are from C&C. However the code is my own taken from various sources.

Edit: I have just found that there was a Starcraft Lua RTS where the menu graphic seems to be from. Apologies.

Edit2: The menu graphic seems to be from Fallout.

[Minor Update 2006-06-12]: Fixed a major coding error where I my member variables weren't acting as member variables but as globals. Added interactivity with the radar. Try pressing circle on it ;). Also switched the debug button from L to Select.

Thank you SO much... ive been asking for a solid RTS psp base, thats easily modified (maps, characters, etc.)

this looks perfect, a very good start...

Rock on. With all the keen coding advice you've offered to the members of this forum, I've been curious to see what kind of projects you've been working on.

Keep it coming (-_!)

Those are some sweet sprites. Can you tell me where you got them. I would've sent this as a private message but it won't let me:confused:
