Spin-X Engine has been in active development since late 2008 and below is a graph showing the progress in lines-of-code (LOC) since the beginning of 2009 when the engine was submitted to SourceForge SVN server for the first time. Currently the engine has a bit over 140kLOC, and as a reference UE3 had ~250kLOC for Gears of War. These numbers exclude external libraries used by the engines, such as image decoding and GUI libraries, which for Spin-X Engine add up to ~760kLOC. With the current progress ...

Finally got a new logo for Profoundic Technologies, woot! Hope you like it!

You fly through levels as this little hummingbird seen in the pictures, collecting/following things distributed by the beat of the music while avoiding obstacles ...

In order to see what kind of multi-core scalability potential Spin-X Engine has, I tested the job queue of the engine using Intel's free Parallel Universe service. Parallel Universe portal lets you to upload executables through the web interface to the service, which runs and profiles the executables in different multi-core configurations ranging from 1 to 16 cores. After half an hour the service emails notification about the job completion with a link to the statistics page. This way you can check ...
