WinWar is a multiplatform (Windows, WindowsStore, OSX, Linux, iOS) port of the original DOS WarCraft: Orcs & Humans PC Game. It is completely rewritten from scratch using only the original art and level data.

It requires the original game; no game data is included. Since version 0.2.0 WinWar is compatible with the demo version, which you can find here: http://wowpedia.org/Warcraft:_Orcs_%26_Humans_%28Demo%29

• Windows
• WindowsStore
• OSX
• Linux
• iOS
• Android (planned)

• Check out the source code from the git repo.
• Open the solution (.sln file) for your platform using either Xamarin Studio (*nix or iOS) or Visual Studio 2015.
• Compile the code.

• Before running the game you must copy over the data files from a Warcraft 1 retail or demo version. To do that, copy everything from the DATA directory of Warcraft 1 (contains 40 .WAR files in retail, but only one .WAR file in the demo version) to a subdirectory named "Data" below the "Assets" directory in the output folder containing the binary (usually bin/Debug, but that differs depending on platform).
• Run the WinWarCS executable either from your IDE or from disk.
• Enjoy

• Started project in 2003
• Originally written in C++
• Switched to C# sometime in 2008
• Later moved to MonoGame as base framework to support multiple platforms
• Note: Due to the age of the project, parts of the codebase are written in a way which I'm not particularly proud of. They will be refactored over time.
