Slightly off topic: Is D a good language for creating tiny windows or Linux executables? There is an upcoming game jam (4mb jam 2025) which gives extra points for game submissions <= 8KB. With c you can fit a window…
Though no further work is being done on the original and the FLOSS forks aren't ready yet (soldank++ and opensoldat) the game is still playable on modern PCs and even free on steam ;) (Disclaimer: former maintainer)
I wonder how much work it is to check if Windows was installed with an account and terminate the program in that case.
In the meantime the repository moved to: https://github.com/opensoldat/opensoldat After MM sold the game to someone else I felt like it would be better to make sure the name is different as the new owner had different…
FYI Soldat used/uses PascalScript and had no classes in the beginning (they where added later to the ScriptCore.) It's still around. The FLOSS version is called OpenSoldat now (I plan to get it back on track eventually…

If you are interested, there are a few (incomplete) FLOSS clones: tac08, PX8 and picolove. I'm maintaining picolove but it's currently more of a pico-8 runtime than a virtual console.
While a bit old this might explain why it wasn't popular back then. Why Ada isn't Popular (1998): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7824570
You can see the server list here: https://soldat.pl/en/lobby Just sort by player count.
The map editor (called Soldat PolyWorks) is also FLOSS. It is written in Visual Basic 6 and uses DirectX 8 though. Might need to rewrite it or use one of the other community made map editors in the future, especially…
Yeah good point, probably better to include the screenshot than an icon. Will do.
Yes, the original developer gets the money from the steam sale. He's hosting the lobby server, website and forum for the game. Afaik the contributors didn't get any money and worked on the game in their spare time…
What a surprise to see Soldat on hackernews :) I maintained Soldat back from version 1.5+ to 1.7 before someone else took over for a few years. The current version on Steam is Soldat 1.7 while the open source version is…
