TombEngine

TombEngine (TEN) is an open-source, custom level engine which aims to abolish limits and fix bugs of the classic Tomb Raider games, introduce new features while refining old ones, and provide user-friendly level creation process. Current support includes:

• Lua (as the native scripting language)
• Many objects from the original series (1-5)
• Support for high framerate, antialiasing, mipmapping and SSAO
• Full diagonal geometry support
• Uncapped map size
• A streamlined player control scheme.
