A simple turn-based game built with Ada and SDL2 where players control eepers in tactical combat.
Eepers is a simple turn-based tactical game where players control eeper units in strategic combat. It provides a lightweight gaming experience focused on tactical decision-making rather than complex mechanics, built using the Ada programming language and SDL2 library.
Game developers interested in Ada programming, hobbyists looking for simple tactical games, and programmers wanting to study game implementation in a less common language.
Developers choose Eepers for its clean Ada implementation, minimalistic design, and educational value in understanding game development with niche technologies.

Gameplay centers on core tactical decision-making without complex mechanics, as emphasized in the project's philosophy of simplicity.
Pre-built binaries are available for Windows and Linux via GitHub and Itch.io releases, ensuring easy access without compilation.
Complete Ada and SDL2 implementation is open for study, ideal for learning niche game development techniques from a practical example.
Build scripts like build-linux.sh provide straightforward compilation from source, reducing setup friction for developers on supported systems.
Built with Ada, a language with fewer game dev resources and a steeper learning curve compared to mainstream options like C++ or C#.
As a lightweight game, it lacks advanced features such as campaign modes, unit variety, or complex AI opponents, focusing only on basic tactics.
README only covers basic build instructions, missing detailed guides on code architecture, modding, or troubleshooting for contributors.
