takes deep breath
Okay, here we go:
I present to you:
The OpenBlox Game Engine/Game Development Kit!
It’s basically a XML scene loader, Lua script runner, distribution platform, and physics sandbox rolled into one.
NOTE: This is NOT a Panda library/add-on. It uses Panda internally, but it’s not a supplement to Panda. It doesn’t replace Panda either, as it’s for the relatively small niche of sandboxes.
It has garnered more than 1,500 downloads over its 2 1/2 year existence on SourceForge! Not bad, huh?
It’s licensed under the GPL v3.
Features:
- No 3D models, just a simple Lego-like brick
- Lua scripts, using the Lupa library( http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lupa)
- World loading from an XML file
- The big one: Cross-platform game distribution with .zip archives
Screenshots are at http://sourceforge.net/projects/openblox (I tried embedding them, but that didn’t work )
You can download it here, for Windows, Linux (both tested), and Mac OSX (not tested yet).
Other links:
- http://openblox.sourceforge.net, the main website with forums and IdeaBin (suggestion box)
- http://openblox.tuxfamily.org, the wiki
I would really appreciate it if Mac OSX users could test it out, as there hasn’t been any OSX testing yet!
Also, you’re more than welcome to join in development! (nudge, nudge )
One other thing: This isn’t related to this.
Comments, kudos, and snide remarks are welcome
