Only way is to make a mod of CS2D but a 100% game will be hard and also he is busy with Stranded 3 and such.
GeoB99 He asked for the game engine, What are you talking about? GeoB99 has writtenNah, i'm sorry but DC won't agree with that, he don't take ideas of others to make a 100% game.

I get the point, but I was asking for the engine.
P.S. Projects forum is for Unreal Software's on-going projects discussion. I don't think it's correct to put it here so I'll move this to uhm... Off-topic maybe? I'll also change the title to better suit what you want to say. "New Game?" doesn't really say anything.
P.P.S. Still not sure if it's correct spot. Maybe CS2D General is better.. Eh, I guess DC will come upon this eventually and he'll move if it's wrong section..
It's the only CS2D source code available here on US.de and it might be a start
and you could stick to the (then again) outdated BlitzMax version 
Also the CS2D "engine" isn't designed to be used for any other games at all. This means that there is no additional abstraction layer between the actual engine and the game(play) logic. So depending on what you're planning this could cause some real headaches.
The code of older CS2D versions is available but:
It's Blitz3D! You really don't want to use that ultra old language and engine anymore. Worst thing you can do. The code is quite bad. I didn't rewrite the game in BlitzMax for fun, you know? I had reasons.So in short: This won't work or it's a bad idea. Try to find a better/real engine for this purpose or write your own one - you'll learn tons of things doing so.
DC has writtenI would then rewrite the engine from scratch in Unity3D and give the game another name and you could stick to the (then again) outdated BlitzMax version
and you could stick to the (then again) outdated BlitzMax version Let me get this straight, so you want to make a CS2D-like game in Unity3D? Or am I missing the point?
(god damn i haven't posted here in ages!)
DC has writtenThere is no way change my mind about this unless you pay me a huge amount of money - far more than the code is actually worth.
and i am not talking about 15 to 50$ - i really mean something over 500 / 600$?

DC: So your talking about 5k to 50k? or less. But I never knew codes were that much worth Sparty: Well, the sourcecode of Minecraft basically cost Microsoft $2.5 Billion. That's a lot. DC: I believe you want it more than 10 thousand bucks. What makes the code so worth anyway? Does it include BlitzMax and all CS2D necessaries? For a simple game, GameMaker is more then enough.
Dousea, @ Reaper, @ Sparty: Players are the worth, and the work-time the developer(s) has put in it can effect the eventual selling price. But it's never really about how neat someone wrote a function syntax. 1
