Crate Game Engine 20080313 (Default branch)

The Crate Game Engine is a game engine that is designed to make creating games trivial. The rendering and scripting engines are removed from the game engine to make the specialization of games as easy as possible. Currently, scripting support is implemented to allow a Lua script to be put directly in the game file, which can be validated as XML. Multiplayer text based adventure-style games can be played with the existing console rendering engine. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
Crate Game Engine has been completely rewritten from scratch after realizing that the current direction was not going to scale as intended. This release represents the first working release after the rewrite. No games are currently playable, but it is a working proof-of-concept of the new asynchronous message passing-based engine.
