'''T-Engine4''' (TE4 for short) is a [[wikipedia:roguelike|roguelike]] game engine operating in [[wikipedia:Lua|Lua]] and available for all major platforms (known to work on Windows, OSX, Linux and various BSD).

This page was copied from: http://www.te4.org/te4 on June 16, 2013.

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

*Cross-platform support. A T-Engine4 game is completely 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!
