Welcome to the official website of the enJine project, developed at Interlab (Interactive Technologies Laboratory) of Escola Politecnica - USP. EnJine is an open-source (GPL) game engine written in Java and making use of the Java 3D API.

We also maintain two specialized websites for enJine:

• the Development Portal at java.net which allows access to source code, binaries and documentation for the project.
• the Portal for Educational use of enJine, which is dedicated to the community of educators who may be interested in applying enJine for didactic purposes. Currently, this site is in Portuguese only.

The main purpose of enJine is to serve as a didactic tool to aid in teaching game design and computer science, especially computer graphics and software engineering subjects. Some of its characteristics are:

• Presents an abstraction of high level entities, such as players, characters, etc.;
• Low coupling among main classes and implementation technology;
• Contains user input, video display and sound playback services;
• Directed to the development of adventure, action and role playing games, offering appropriate resources for application in educational games.
