T-Engine4: Flexible roguelike game engine

T-Engine4 (TE4 for short) is a roguelike game engine operating in Lua and available for all major platforms (known to work on Windows, OSX, Linux and various BSD).
What does it do?

T-Engine4 provides many building blocks for your own roguelike game:

    Cross-platform support. A T-Engine4 game is completly made in Lua, as such your game will run automatically on all platforms supported by the engine.
    Fast rendering through the use of OpenGL (but you do not have to worry about it, it is well integrated)
    Support for both "old school" ASCII display or graphical tiles
    Generic save/load code, your objects are automatically saveable without anything to do at all in most cases
    Object Oriented design with lots of flexibility, thanks to Lua
    Map handling
    Generic "Entities" concept that can become terrain features, objects, player(s), NPCs, ...
    Keyboard and Mouse easy support
    Various basic entities class interfaces to make your actors have life, stats, talents, ... with the possibility to define your own
    Generic "Zone" design, that can contain and define levels. A zone can be made into a dungeon, a forest, a wilderness map, a town, ...
    Handle either (or both!) persistent and non-persistent levels
    Malleable data structure design
    Extendable "dialog windows" system
    Many utility classes (chats, stores, default interfaces, character generator, ...)
    Keybind system that allows to user to assign keys to abstract actions and then lets a game bind to those actions
    Integrated download center: If you reference your game on te4.org then existing T-Engine4 users will be able to see the game in their list inside T-Engine
    Particles engine for some neat graphical effects
    Sound and music support
    Many other things, just check it out!
