## What it is
Torque3D is an open-source (MIT licensed) 3D game engine originally developed by GarageGames, written in C++. It supports building games for Windows, Linux, and macOS and includes community documentation, forums, and pre-compiled binaries.

## Use cases
- build a 3d game with an open source engine
- create cross-platform desktop games in c++
- learn how a full game engine works internally
- prototype 3d worlds with terrain and lighting
- fork a mature game engine for custom development

## When to choose
- you want a fully open-source C++ game engine with permissive MIT licensing
- you need cross-platform desktop game development on Windows, Linux, and macOS
- you want to study or modify a complete, historically significant game engine codebase

## When to avoid
- you need modern AAA-grade rendering features or extensive asset store ecosystem
- you prefer engines with large active communities like Unreal or Godot
- you are targeting mobile or web platforms primarily

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: game-engine, graphics, simulation
- domain: cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: 3d-game-engine, open-source, torque, c++, mit-license, game-development, linux, macos
