Turbulenz Engine
Turbulenz Engine is a cross-platform game engine and HTML5 framework designed for rendering graphics and simulating physics across desktop, mobile, and web environments. It functions as a WebGL graphics engine and a web-based physics engine, providing the necessary tools to build 2D and 3D games that run within browsers.
The project includes a real-time multiplayer framework that synchronizes game states and player interactions between multiple users via server-side communication. This allows for the coordination of both real-time and asynchronous turn-based actions to maintain a consistent shared state.
The engine covers a broad range of capabilities, including shader-based graphics rendering, collision simulation, and the processing of user input from keyboards, mice, touch screens, and gamepads. It also manages multimedia assets through asynchronous loading of 3D models, textures, and audio-video playback.
The framework is organized into modular components to facilitate the integration of various game systems and the distribution of content across different device types.
