News
New PPS Semester — September 23, 2008
The new ETH semester has begun last week and the subscriptions for the Orxonox PPS are out. We will be attending 8 Students until the end the semester with the hope to have interesting contributions like always.
Server Downtime — July 19, 2008
As you probably have noticed, our server was not reachable for the past weeks. We had to restart it, and for some reasons, it did not come back, and it took some time to figure out the problem. But we are back.
Upcoming Orxonox Convention VIII — May 29, 2008, 13:00
The best Orxonox you have ever seen! It's maybe not the most beautiful version right now, but the new features are worth to look at. Come to the Orxonox Convention to see what the PPS students did during the last semester and how much Orxonox improved. The presentation of our work will be in the ETZ E9. Take an hour time to have a look at the most furious 3D shooter on Linux.
Revision 1000 reached! — 6th April, 2008
We have reached revision 1000 since we changed our engine to Ogre. Right now we work on a scripting engine, input system, network support, models and textures, core libraries and HUD.
Orxonox is an open source game. It's a mix between a spacecraft shooter and a first person shooter. It plays in a post apocalyptic world, where humanity struggles to survive under the threat of extermination by the Noxons, an evil alien species. We started this project in May 2004 and since then we have written our own game engine and created game content for the first levels.
This year we made some major changes affecting the whole code of Orxonox. Because our own engine got to its limits, we decided to rewrite parts of Orxonox with a third party library and changed to the open source engine Ogre. Find out more about us.
To become a part of Orxonox yourself write a post in our forum to tell us about your ideas! Or just ask us about our ideas. Contact us! Check out this site?, too.
Found any bugs? Please submit your bug reports here.
Orxonox is partly developed by students of the ETH Zürich. We do also offer a PPS course for students in the second year of their studies at the D-ITET. If you are interested in our teaching or if you're a student studying at the D-ITET, we will be glad to give you more information on the PPS site?.
You can get Orxonox for free. Check out the download page for further details.
