Magrathea

Post by roid »



just stumbled across that video while searching for other stuff. Dude, it's MAGRATHEA! That's the engine the AGD guys developed for nTrap. Remember Bobo etc? I thought they sold this engine or started using it for music visualisations, but *bing* here it is.

and get this... it's now OPEN SOURCE
http://www.magrathea-engine.org

from what i remember from nTrap - the Magrathea engine had some pretty awesome capabilitys like destructable terrain. Well, i'm assuming it was Magrathea and not just nTrap code, maybe some techy can correct me on that.

heh, anyone want to re-make nTrap? I'd like to play Descent with destructable terrain.


(reminder: nTrap was a descent-like game in development a few years back that the DBB made a subforum for, and what introduced me to the DBB in the first place :))

I think this is a different engine with the same name. It says it was developed by French students. Wasn't nTrap a German commercial project?
