About

Lescegra is an OpenGL 3D engine and game framework, written in strict ANSI C. It has a very clean, object oriented design, and is easily extensible. Progress
Section Progress

Multipass Rendering     70% (interface basics, stencil shadow render manager)
Rigid Body Physics      80% (using ODE)
Collision Detection     80% (using ODE)
Audio   0% (probably using OpenAL)
Embedded Scripting Language     40% (SWIG interface file generator, simple (non-oo) guile bindings)

Mission Statement

1.

      Simplicity
      The interface and the rendering/animation process should be easy to understand and mostly self explaining even for novices.

2.

      Flexibility
      It should be easy to integrate lescegra into existing projects, whatever toolkit, operating system or architecture is used.

3.

      Extensibility
      It should be easy to extend lescegra with custom functionality.

4.

      Lightweight
      Keep the dependencies to a minimum without reimplementing too much functionality.
