It is licensed under the LGPL , which permits the creation of independent commercial games. Inspired by the isometric view found on Fallout video game Fallout and Fallout 2 , it can nonetheless be used to create about any 2D game as the flexible on the name implies. The non tridimensional approach ensure FIFE games can run on less powerful hardware , and also simplifies framework programming and content creation. The engine itself is an intermediary between clients and external libraries. An example of a client would be a game built on top of the engine, and OpenAL or OpenGL would be two external libraries. It is further divided into the performance critical core and engine extensions implemented with Python , which are bound together through SWIG wrappers. ref http www.soe.ucsc.edu classes cmps164 Spring09 ass1 abrozek FIFE.htm ref Features OggVorbis support.
