Tombstone Engine vs GameApi

Tombstone gives full access to the clean and professional C++ source code allowing editing and upgrading anything in the system.

Including extensive documentation both in code as well as online along with a wiki, tutorials and a demo game.

Due to the well-organized, highly modular design of the engine adding custom functionality is easy.

Comes integrated with support for physics, audio, networking, input devices, resource management as well as modern features such as real-time shadows, horizontal mapping, voxel-based terrain, dynamic lighting, post-processing effects and much, much more.

Tombstone has a small, tight-knit community that's well educated and professional. Eric Lengyel, the main developer, can often be found giving thorough advice to users on the forums.

In order to enable creation of 100 different kind of games, GameApi features are fully supporting all combinations of the existing features. This allows for huge amount of flexibility. The API carefully documents all dependencies between independent plugin-like modules and allows for combining their features in c++ code.

The library is based on constructing opengl vertex arrays for 2d and 3d features including changing mesh colours, attaching textures, building larger worlds from smaller meshes, selection of predefined meshes like spheres, cubes and cones, Model loading from .obj files. Font support, gradient and other 2d bitmap operations, creation of 3d objects from bitmaps, Manipulation of points, lines, faces.
