Project Kitanai is the implementation of a Geomtery and Physics game engine for WindowsXP using DirectX.

The engine will support loading geometry data from files, and allow a "scene" to be defined using the custom Kitanai scripting language. The engine will use HLSL programs to support a variety of lighting techniques.

The engine will simulate the physics of rigid body motion in 3D (translation and rotation) using numerical integration methods. It will perform collision detection and response as configured by the custom scripts.
