I agree - found it hard to keep builds stable - had to leave them for possible future projects.

I paid an outright sum for the engine source, so I have no monthly subscription but then again there's no support either.

I'd say the other engines are in a higher class of stable than mine but they couldn't offer the freedom I can give you with this engine.

That being said there are compromises with this engine as in most engines.


Also this is where I say what a fantastic job NL did.


The interesting thing about this solution is that it's in LUA.

I think it's safe enough for me to post it here because the interpreter is proprietary and the variables are custom created, making them no use in any other program, though it can be used as a working example for budding codejocks.
