I mainly play Creatures 2 in a Windows XP VM, it's also the lowest supported version of the GOG release.\n\n**Albian Command** is actually split into 2 parts: this NW.JS frontend and the [creatures](https://github.com/skerit/creatures) library written in JavaScript \u0026 VB6.\n\nYes, you read that correct: the creatures library uses a VB6 executable to interface with the Creatures 2 application. The source code is also fully available in that repository.\n\n## Project future\n\nI hope to add many more features, like:\n\n* Automatically unpausing eggs\n* Automatic exporting \u0026 importing of creatures\n* Warping to off-line users\n* Contact lists\n* Some sort of crash management (because we all know C2 likes to crash)\n\n## Author\n\nYou can follow me on twitter: [![Twitter](http://i.imgur.com/wWzX9uB.png)@skeriten](https://www.twitter.com/skeriten)\n\n## License\n\nGPL-3.0","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fskerit%2Falbian-command","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fskerit%2Falbian-command","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fskerit%2Falbian-command/lists"}
