About
Siege is a 1992 MS-DOS video game published by Mindcraft; an expansion pack, Dogs of War, added multiplayer, six new castles, and 16 new units, and a sequel, Ambush at Sorinor, followed in 1993. FreeSiege is an open-source (GPL-3.0+) two-player local-multiplayer puzzle/war game for Linux, built with SDL2 and CMake, in which players swap blocks to form unit-spawning patterns and send soldiers, knights, rams, and other units to attack the opposing player's castle.
Getting started
Build it with CMake (`cmake .` then `make`, and optionally `make install`) after installing the SDL2, SDL2_mixer, SDL2_ttf, and SDL2_image development libraries; controls default to the arrow keys plus O/P for player one and E/S/D/F plus Q/W for player two, both keyboard-layout independent, and joysticks are also supported.
