Introduction

• Game-logic is entirely scripted in Lua, so SFZ is highly flexible and the need to recompile is rare
• The Ogre3D engine provides a solid foundation for hardware acceleration and graphical effects
• An abstract interface to sound allows the use of FMod or OpenAL and supports MP3 and OGG
• To ensure the longterm health of the project, we keep the code as modular and capsuled as possible
• (TODO:) An Auto-Updater simplifies updating and can handle conflicts with local changes reasonably (svn based)
