## What it is
Torque 3D is an MIT-licensed open source C++ game engine from GarageGames, originally used for titles ranging from driving simulators to MMOs. This GitHub repository is kept for archival purposes; active development has moved to the TorqueGameEngines/Torque3D repository.

## Use cases
- build a 3D game with an open source C++ engine
- create driving simulators or training simulations
- develop an MMO or multiplayer game with built-in networking
- study the source code of a full-featured game engine
- make a game with terrain, shaders, and lighting out of the box

## When to choose
- you want a mature, MIT-licensed C++ engine with editor, rendering, physics, and networking included
- you are maintaining or porting a legacy Torque 3D project
- you want to learn engine internals from complete, readable source code

## When to avoid
- you want the actively developed version - use the TorqueGameEngines/Torque3D fork instead
- you need a modern engine with a large ecosystem and asset store
- you prefer higher-level scripting-first engines like Godot or Unity

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: simulation, graphics, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: torque3d, game-engine, c-plus-plus, archival, mit-license, 3d-rendering, world-editor, physics, game-development, linux, macos
