PowerGine is an implementation of a (purely object oriented) 3D Game engine. It was programmed in C++ and was developed for research and development purposes. PowerGine is not a complete Game Engine. However, if you like the project and want to use it or parts of it in your own project, please add a reference to PowerGine.
PowerGine has a lot of functionalities and can be considered a good reference material. There are several open source engines that can be used if you wish to create a complete game. For instance Ogre3D (www.ogre3d.org).
