Blender 游戏引擎 是 Blender 软件的一个部分, 一个自由并且开放源代码的完整的 3D 套件，用于制作实时交互内容。该游戏引擎使用 C++ 程序语言编写，并支持 Python 脚本和 OpenAL 3D 音频。

历史

Erwin Coumans 和 Gino van den Bergen 在2000年开发了 Blender 游戏引擎。The goal was to create a marketable commercial product to easily create games and other interactive content, in an artist-friendly way. These games could run either as stand-alone applications, or embedded in a web page using a special plugin. This plugin has since been discontinued for security reasons, though there has been some effort to revive it (an updated alpha version for Internet Explorer has been released, and Firefox and COLLADA support is under consideration). Another plugin has surfaced named Burster, which enables embedded gameplay on websites for Blender Game Engine games.

Key code in the physics library did not become open-source when the rest of Blender did, which prevented the game engine from functioning until version 2.37a. Version 2.42 showed several significant new features, including integration of the Bullet Rigid Body Dynamics library.

The Blender game engine uses a system of graphical "logic bricks" (a combination of "sensors", "controllers" and "actuators") to control the movement and display of objects in the engine. The game engine can also be extended via a set of Python bindings. Version 2.41 of Blender showcased a version that was almost entirely devoted to the game engine. Audio is supported in this version. A new system for integration of GLSL shaders and soft body physics was added in the 2.48 release to help bring the game engine back in line with modern game engines. Like Blender, it uses OpenGL, a cross-platform graphics layer, to communicate with graphics hardware.
