   is leadwerks engine a level editor?
  hey i have been looking at Leadwerks 2 engine and i never tried it yet, but I have heard people saying ti is a level editor. So is it? or is it a full game engine? Thanks.   
  If you go to their website, and click "products", you'll see they've got both an engine and an editor...   ;Quote:Original post by armbuckhey i have been looking at Leadwerks 2 engine and i never tried it yet, but I have heard people saying ti is a level editor. So is it? or is it a full game engine? Thanks.The Leadwerks Engine itself is a full engine* (*without getting into semantics of what defines an engine). It does come with a GUI based editor that allows you to do higher level development in a drag & drop fashion. This editor is Lua powered, so you will be scripting logic in. You can download a demo here to try it out. The engine SDK comes with a runtime loaded DLL that you can use in a wide variety of programming languages with the appropriate bindings if you want to code at that lower level. Take a look at the wiki for coding examples to see how programming goes with the SDK. Overall, it is pretty simple to use and you can achieve some pretty nice results right away.The second product that is sold is 3D World Studio. This is an entirely separate product from the engine and is not related to the GUI based editor that comes with the engine. Read more on the product page about 3DWS if you need an additional modeling program to use with the engine. You could use this tool with other engines as well if you use any of the formats it supports.I've been a license holder since the start of 2009, so if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message, although you should probably ask on the Leadwerks forums first rather than here for the best support [wink].
