3D Gamestudio A7 7.06

Gamestudio A7 7.06 comes with new features like mesh cloning, SpaceNavigator input device support, a WED terrain editor, improvements for MED, SED, and many new engine functions.

The A7 Engine - Version 7.06
The engine is the core of the development system - it generates the 3D image and controls the behavior of the virtual world. Gamestudio's A7 virtual reality engine was developed in 2007. Its new Adaptive Binary Tree scene manager switches seamlessly from indoor to outdoor sceneries. The brand new lighting engine overcomes the 8 lights limit of today's 3D hardware and supports an unlimited number of static and dynamic shadow-throwing light sources. Programmers can use plugins for adding new effects and features. The simple and straigthforward C-style DLL interface allows painless access to the engine from all programming languages.
The A7 engine is regularly updated in order to support the newest features of the newest 3D cards. All A7 updates are free.

The lite-C Programming Language
We can create a complete game by designing a level, placing items and monsters, attaching behaviors to them, and adding a game menu. So why do we need a programming language at all?

After having 'clicked together' your first games, you'll probably want to do something more ambitious - like realizing your own unique game ideas or special effects. Now it's time to learn programming! Gamestudio's lite-C language allows game programming from a beginner's to a professional level. Lite-C scripts can be attached to any object of the virtual world and react on events like being hit, touched with the mouse, coming close to something and so on.

Lite-C is a lightweight version of C/C++, the language used for commercial games programming. But unlike C++, it's extremely easy to learn and the best way to get introduced into 'real' programming. Anything that's scary to a beginner, like memory and pointer handling, is automatically managed in lite-C.

Still, lite-C is not a script language but a real programming language. It can access all functions from Windows libraries on your PC, including DirectX classes and OpenGL functions. You could write your own 3D engine in lite-C! Unlike many scripting languages like Basic, Python, LUA etc, lite-C is compiled - translated into optimized machine code. Thus a lite-C program runs up to twenty times faster than interpreted scripting languages. This is important as in an abitious game with several thousand actors, 10,000 program functions could run at the same time!

If you prefer to program in 'real' C++, Delphi or other languages, you can implement Gamestudio's engine into your own programs using the engine SDK. You can even continue to use lite-C as a scripting language; lite-C functions and variables can be called from your program and vice versa.

Important!
You must install the program in "c:program filesgstudio7"
read the nfo file.
Otherwise it won't work.

This time I also uploaded the installer.
