@ -7,12 +7,14 @@ An open source re-implementation of Diablo 2 in C#
## About this project
This is an attempt to re-create Diablo 2's game engine in C#, and make it cross platform as well. This project does not ship with the assets or content required to work. You must have a legally purchased copy of [Diablo 2](https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-ii) and its expansion [Lord of Destruction](https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-ii-lord-of-destruction) installed on your computer in order to run this engine. If you have an original copy of the disks, those files should work fine as well.
OpenDiablo2 is an ARPG game engine in the same vein of the 2000's games, and supports playing Diablo 2. The engine is written in C# and is cross platform. However, please note that this project does not ship with the assets or content required to play Diablo 2. You must have a legally purchased copy of [Diablo 2](https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-ii) and its expansion [Lord of Destruction](https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-ii-lord-of-destruction) installed on your computer in order to run this engine. If you have an original copy of the disks, those files should work fine as well.
Currently we are working on features necessary to play Diablo 2 in its entireity, but will then expand with tools and plugin support to allow modding, as well as writing completely new games with the engine.
Currently we have the main menu, credits screen, hero selection screen, map rendering, character animations, the beginnings of map generation, some equipment management, and a client/server stack. This project is still early in development and is not yet at a playable state.
Please note that **this game is neither developed by, nor endorsed by Blizzard or its parent company Activision**.
This game is a clean-room implementation based on observations of how the original game works. Aside from the data file formats themselves, we have not and will not reverse engineer the original binaries of the game in an attempt to copy or duplicate intellectual property.
