It has tightly integrated physics support (motion, collision detection, joints, etc), a threaded render cycle for high FPS, an intuitive API, and other features too numerous to list. <p>This version (1.0 Beta-2) is the first to include native support for Microsoft Windows. Just like it's Linux/X11 counterpart this port supports multiple windows, splash windows, fullscreen mode, and the same intuitive API to setup, access, and control from Python. <p>Also new in this version is the start of the new programmable controller system which will greatly reduce the latency between input and action while leaving Python free to focus on higher level tasks. <p>While the engine is still incomplete and under heavy development it's already usable for basic games. It's free software available under the GPLv3. | PySoy (3D Game Engine) 1.0-Beta2 | new | PySoy (3D Game Engine) |
