- Overview
- User Reviews
The Linderdaum Engine is an open source purely object-oriented 3D gaming engine written in C++. It uses OpenGL 2.1 and GLSL and has a lot of modern features which can be found in high-end commercial 3D engines. The goal is to implement an agile classes infrastructure capable of being tuned to handle many types of game genres.

Tools & Editors
Internal world editor is in development
Scripting
- Fully integrated object-oriented LinderScript scripting language with a C++ like syntax
- Bytecode virtual machine
- Standalone optimizing compiler
- Purely object-oriented scripting solution where one can derive scripted classes from native C++ ones, there is no difference for the engine if some class contains scripted methods or not, in derived classes you can override some methods with LinderScript or leave them as inherited C++ methods at your own will.

Preliminary demonstartion of the built-in editor
This is in-development footage of the build-in game editor. The editor is designed with "What You See Is What You Play" idea in mind and allows to inspect and modify many of game aspects directly during playtime.
