The Cog Engine Project is an Open Source project aimed at simplifying the
creation of online video games. Users can make their own video games with no
programming experience necessary, with a target audience ranging from
children to gurus. Games can be played in a web brower (no software
installation necessary!), and native ports of the development application
are available for Linux and Windows.
Currently, games have a text-based interface, with photo-realistic graphics
and a clickable compass for movement. Future versions will have a MYST-like
interface. Our goal is to bring as much power and flexibility to the game
creator as possible, while still remaining simple enough for a motivated
child to use (see the project history for more information on this).

The game engine and development application have both reached a stable state
with the recent 1.0 release. The 1.1 development branch has been opened,
with the goal of merging the game engine and develoment environment when
running locally, and a full rewrite of the web application. There is plenty
of work left to be done, including feature implementation, bugfixes, and
documentation. See the News and Screenshots sections for regular updates on
our progress.

This website is meant to serve as a central repository for the development
of the Cog Engine, the Engine's associated development tools, documentation,
game authoring and discussion, and as a central link to anyone who might be
hosting a Cog Engine game of their own. The project and this site was
created and is maintained by Steven M. Castellotti.
