Gaming Engines
A Game Engine is the core software component of a video game. It typically handles rendering and other necessary technology, but might also handle additional tasks such as game AI, collision detection between game objects, etc. The most common element that a game engine provides is graphics rendering facilities (2D or 3D).

dimension3
dimension3 is a 3D game "without content." This engine is aimed directly at two groups:
Mod Makers
Mod makers have done wonderful things with other engines, but they are extending an engine that was basically designed for a single game. Dim3 is the opposite ... an engine designed for all games!
These people can just download the binary and change almost everything about the engine from scripts and editors. In this way, they can make any number of games, for example:
first-person shooter
3D adventure game
2D side scroller
top-down RPG
driving and racing
network battles
... or many other types of game.
Coders
dim3 is open source, so anybody that wants to tinker with the actual code can do so. dim3 is designed to be completely changed without ever touching the code, but those that want to can dive in.
