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 ParticleEngine, including easily extensible emitters. Uses billboarding.
• Generic 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
