TornadoCookie OpenRblx

Summary

GitHub
OpenRblx is an open-source recreation of the Roblox engine. I don't intend to add any online features, that would have to be the work of someone else as I am not a competent web developer. For now, I am trying to achieve maximum conformance with the Roblox engine while also trying not do to things that would get me an angry letter from Roblox like:

Infringing on the Roblox patent
Placing OpenRblx as "better" or "an alternative to" Roblox proper

Uniqueness

OpenRblx is different from projects like it:

OpenBLOX: it focused on classic maps only and for the Nintendo DS. OpenRblx is for native platforms and plans to support more modern roblox games.
OpenBlox: it is made for Windows, OpenRblx has only Linux support at the current moment although plans to add Windows support are in the making.
Game sharing platforms like The Mirror or Core: OpenRblx is designed to never have any web features. It makes calls to the Roblox API, although a smart web developer might be able to make a website that interfaces with OpenRblx.

Pioneering

AFAIK this is the only program out there that parses RBXM, RBXL, RBXMX, RBXLX, and creates a DataModel, and renders it, including MeshParts. There is a limit to the amount of conformance that can be ensured with Roblox as their joint system is patented so adding physics is postponed to a later date. To the right is my first attempt at getting player characters working. You can guess that it probably isn't supposed to be a sentient black rectangular prism flying around roblox crossroads for 30 seconds.
