## What it is
OpenSoldat is an open-source 2D side-view multiplayer action shooter game, originally released in 2002 and influenced by Liero, Worms, Quake, and Counter-Strike. This repository contains the source code for version 1.8, written in Pascal and built with SDL2 and OpenGL, compilable on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

## Use cases
- play a fast-paced 2D multiplayer shooter with friends
- host a dedicated server for a 2D action game
- contribute to or fork an open-source classic game

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source 2D multiplayer shooter

- you want to study or modify the source of a well-known Pascal/SDL2 game
