• Object-Oriented Design
• Other
• No 3D modeling experience required - you can use Lego-like bricks instead
• 3D models still supported
• Only a minimal knowledge of XML (and optionally Lua) is required to use OpenBlox
• Write your game once, deploy to Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX
• You can charge for the games you make with OpenBlox, if you so choose
• Many benefits for the developer who wants to directly use the SDK:
• Entire engine uses OO design principles
• 0.7 release (not out yet) has a complete plug-in system:
• Plugin location
• Plugin initialization/deinitialization
• Plugin dependency handling
• Plugin conflict resolution
• Fixed-function
• Fonts

• GUI

• Sky

• Skyboxes/Skyspheres are fully supported

• Fire and fog will come soon, along with a full particle system

• Per-vertex
• Per-pixel
• Smooth per-pixel lighting
• Per-vertex lighting chosen if the target machine is too slow for per-pixel lighting

• Shadow Mapping Full shadow-casting support - all models cast realistic shadows

• Basic
• Multi-texturing
• Bumpmapping Full texture support; adding/removing of textures at runtime not yet available without a knowledge of Python

• Vertex
• Pixel
• High Level Shader support exists, though they require a knowledge of Python

• Mesh Loading
• Many mesh types are supported:
• .x
• .lwo
• .flt
• .dxf

• General
• BSP
• Occlusion Culling

• Basic Physics
• Collision Detection
• Rigid Body Amazing physics simulation, using ODE as the backend

• Scripted
• AI can be scripted in Lua
• AI libraries for plug-and-play AI coming soon

• 2D Sound
• 3D Sound
• High-quality sound support with either OpenAL or FMOD as a backend
• Sound can be loaded at what ever time the developer likes

Supported.
