Lite-C is a new system for quickly and easily programming graphics or virtual reality applications - such as 2D or 3D computer games - even without previous programming knowledge! Sounds, images, movies, user interfaces, 2D and 3D models, collision detection, rigid body physics, multitasking, and DirectX 9 functions are already a native part of the language. So you can immediately achieve results with a few lines in lite-C that would require hundreds of source code lines with normal C/C++ compilers.
Lite-C is ideal when you don't want to concentrate on programming, but on the content. It's also ideal for learning programming. Its syntax is similar to the C/C++ programming language, but much easier - and more fun - to learn. Anything that's scary to a beginner, like memory and pointer handling, is automatically managed in lite-C. No crashes, memory leaks, and pointer arithmetics anymore!
The lite-C package contains a complete development environment with editor, compiler, and debugger, and many samples of DirectX, OpenGL, and other programs. And the best of all: lite-C is free. A free 3D model editor for creating 3D content is also available.
Features:- Extended C syntax, easy and transparent multitasking
- Compiles on the fly to machine code executable
- Easy integration of external APIs (OpenGL, DirectX) with DLL or COM interface
- Powerful ABT (Adaptive Binary Tree) rendering engine
- 2D and 3D sprites and models, vertex and bones animation
- Programmable particle effect generators
- Rigid body physics and collision engine
- Terrain-based game levels and BSP-based Gamestudio levels
- Layered sky system with sky cubes, sky domes, clouds and backdrop images
- Shadow-throwing point and spot light sources
- Built-in vector, matrix, physics and collision functions
- GUI objects with button, slider, gauge elements, Truetype and bitmap fonts
- Supports all DirectX 9 functions
- Play functions for sound, music and movie files and CD tracks
- Syntax-highlighting script editor with single-step debugger
- Free model / terrain editor and importer
- Small footprint - ca. 15 MB only
- Small requirements - runs even on old machines (such as P3-500 / Riva TNT2)
- Extensible: Level editor, vertex/pixel shaders, network functions...
- Supported file formats: FBX, 3DS, X, OBJ, ASE, MAP, MDL, MD2, FX, BMP, PCX, TGA, JPG, DDS, WAD, MID, WAV, OGG, MP3, MPG, AVI.
