MechBox (Version 1.0)
MechBOX is a lightweight game engine which brings together realistic 3D graphics with real-time
physics simulator. Both modules do not require any hardware accelerators and can be installed
even on a PDA. MechBOX is intended to open new era in casual computer games. It includes various
mechanical puzzles such Tangram, Polyminoes, 15 game and many others. Stay tuned for updates.
The beta version is released in November, 2006.
Today's Snapshot
