## What it is
3DWorld is a cross-platform OpenGL-based 3D game engine written in C++ with GLSL shaders, featuring procedural generation of terrain, cities, buildings, and universes, plus physics simulation and weather effects. It includes built-in gameplay modes such as a first-person shooter, a spaceship/planet colonization game, and a zombie item-collection mode.

## Use cases
- generate procedural terrain and voxel worlds with realtime editing
- create procedural cities, roads, and building interiors
- build a 3D game with OpenGL in C++
- simulate physics for thousands of dynamic objects
- generate a procedural universe with stars and planets
- experiment with shaders and realtime graphics effects

## When to choose
- you want a C++/OpenGL engine with strong procedural content generation
- you need realtime terrain, city, or universe generation for experiments or games
- you want a self-contained engine with built-in demo games and physics

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready engine with large community support like Unity or Unreal
- you require robust Linux/macOS build support, which is experimental
- you want a lightweight engine - the repository is about 1GB and Windows-focused
