It aims to provide features and tools that help people develop higher quality 3D real-time strategy games for all major platforms. Glest Advanced Engine requires lua, OpenAL and physfs. Optionally glestae can use wxGTK/wxPython and cppunit. wxGTK/wxPython will build the optional gae_mapeditor and gae_g3dviewer.
