cohdex - platform to create strategies

Hey,

I am a web developer who wants to add yet another free and open source project to his portfolio. Therefor I decided to start planning out a project for COH2 where you and I can complot strategies. This thread is purely ment to gather suggestions whilst developing!

Proof Of Concept (hacked together)
Official Website
Discord (only to gather feedback/suggestions)

A strategy consist of an early game capping order with a direct link to a build order.

In order to achieve this I will be implementing a system where you can basically add "commands" to a unit, which will allow you to add more things like build sandbags, move to this position etc. The amazing thing about this system is that I can implement a "replayish" feature so you can visually see how it all fits together.

Game Modes

I'll be starting with 1v1 and add 2v2 down the road. 3v3/4v4 are out of the scope.

For developers

The stack is completely in TypeScript with ReactJS to deal with the client. For the backend I will be using Node(https://kondah.dev/). Kondah is a micro framework created by me which is in it's very early stages; but I'm hoping that his project will mature it.

As of now I have not made the repository contribution friendly but if there are developers out there who would like to help out then I will gladly fix it.

Github repository

ha, interesting, I have been longing for something like this in game since coh1.
now you start it....awesome!

very cool! i'm in the same boat as gunther and having a website with stuff like this would be truly awesome. coh2.org (and before gr.org) used to have a ton of very informative and well written guides, but somehow the creation of content like this ebbed off in the recent years.
i might be a bit old school in that regard, but i prefer reading guides or builds rather than watching a youtube video, and i guess i'm not alone.

in any case, gl with the project... stoked to see how it turns out!

Nice! Good luck with the project. Feel free to use the exported assets (icons of commanders and their abilities) from the game we have here

Although you will need to export way more icons for actions like sandbags etc
