FireEngine

FireEngine is a networked game engine designed to be used as part of Fire on High. It is designed to present an immersive interface to players and handle game mechanics without the need for GM intervention.

FireEngine is written in Python and uses a variety of third-party libraries, including Pygame, PyOpenGL, Dice3DS, Numerical Python, and PIL.
