Spring is a free, open-source, cross-platform 3D real-time strategy game engine written in C++ with extensive Lua scripting support. It powers multiple community-made RTS games and supports single-player, LAN, and online multiplayer battles with thousands of units.
Use cases
- play open-source RTS games like Balanced Annihilation
- build a custom real-time strategy game
- create custom maps for RTS battles
- script game logic and UI with Lua
- run large multiplayer RTS matches online or on LAN
- develop AI skirmish opponents
When to choose
- you want to make or play an RTS with 3D terrain, physics-based combat, and thousands of units
- you need a mature engine with Lua customization for game-specific code
- you want cross-platform (Windows/Linux/macOS) RTS support with multiplayer
When to avoid
- you are building a game in a genre other than real-time strategy
- you need a modern general-purpose engine like Godot or Unreal
- you require official commercial support or a permissive license (GPLv2)
