= Engine Features =

Platform & 3D API support

    * Linux, Windows (all major versions) and Mac OSX support
    * OpenGL, OpenAL support
    * Builds on gcc 4+ on Linux, Mac OSX (using XCode) and Windows using Cygwin
    * Framework bases on SDL library

Material / Shader support

    * Powerful material declaration language
    * Load textures from PNG, JPEG, TGA or BMP
    * Textures can be provided and updated in realtime
    * Material LOD support; your material's cost is reduced as the objects using them get further away
    * Easy loading/unloading of OpenGL shaders

Meshes

    * Import from many modelling tools including Blender, Milkshape3D, 3D Studio Max and Maya as .obj/.mtl and md2 files
    * Quake 3 BSP model format support
    * Height map loading support with many additional features
    * Linear 3D animation module

Misc Graphics Engine

    * Powerfull and fast [wiki:archive/ParticleEngine ParticleEngine], including easily extensible emitters. Uses billboarding.
    * Generic [wiki:WeatherEngine WeatherEngine] creating raind, snow, thunder and lightning effects
    * Very nice water effects with shader support (including reflection and refraction)
    * Self made graphical user interface very adaptable and performant
    * Support for skyboxes, skyplanes and skydomes, very easy to use

Collision Detection

    * Algorithm to create an Object-Aligned-Bounding-Box out of a triangle-soup
    * OBB obj-obj collision detection
    * Quadtree separation on the terrain, triangle-OBB collision detection for terrain-obj collisions
    * Id-Softwares' BSP model format and collision algorithms

Networking

    * Robust UDP/TCP based networking module
    * Proxy server support which makes the game very scalable (almost arbitrary player numbers, almost :D )
    * Different supported game modes for multiplayer games

Artificial Intelligence

    * We have a very powerfull script engine based on LUA: object creation and control is one of many features
    * Some very simple AI scripts

Misc. Engine

    * Powerful and simple event-handling system, supporting different states and many input devices like mouse, joystick, joypad and keyboard
    * Generic world loading over XML files
    * Easy to use XML and ini reader/writer
