ELF3D - OpenSource Lightweight 3D Game Engine ============================================= ELF3D is an Open Source Game Engine that has a main goal of being an all in Game Engine. ELF3D is not only is a Graphics, Window, Input, Physics, Sound, or Network System, it is all of those components combined into one simple, free, opensource, and lightweight Game Engine. To accomplish these goals we like to follow these principles: -KISS(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) -YAGNI(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_ain%27t_gonna_need_it) -DRY(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself) ELF3D is written in C++ and uses OpenGL for 3D Graphics.
