LEAF2 Game Engine

[WILL]

The LEAF2 game engine was just released to the pubic last week. LEAF2 is a cross-platform, Object Pascal game engine written with Delphi. The new library was based off the lessons learned from the original LEAF engine.

It is currently compatable with both Delphi and Free Pascal compilers and supports the Win32 and Linux platforms. MacOS X is planned later on.

Some of it's main features include:

Powerful 3D OpenGL Renderer
Scene management using octrees
Cross-plataform window management
Sprite engine, with scaling, rotation and alphablending
Integrated resource manager for sound, textures and meshes
Material/Geometry shaders, supporting both GLSL and software targets
Supports both skeletal and keyframe animation
Realtime dynamic skydome, with day-night system
Realistic physics simulation using Newton
Advanced 3d audio system using OpenAL
Ogg streaming sound using OggVorbis
Complete vector math library
Network UDP Client/Server
Extensible scripting language (Pascal based)
Extensible GUI system (windows, buttons, icons, text)


The LEAF2 engine is now available for download at their website; leafproject.com.sapo.pt (http://leafproject.com.sapo.pt/leaf2.html)!

So besides the creators, has anyone tried using this engine for a game project yet? :)

Yeah, I'd like to see someone use it for make some real games, because I currently don't have a good graphic card avaliable, and I don't really know how good is the performance for 3d stuff. Probably still needs some tweaks and optimizations. Any questions or suggestions, just ask :wink:
