Amber Virtual Environment Toolkit

Amber Virtual Environment Toolkit is a C++ multi-platform API for developing dynamic virtual environments. Amber provides a high level API for the importation and manipulation of graphical objects. Amber implements three levels of behaviour-laws, styles, and actions. Laws are behaviours that affect all objects in a universe, like gravity. Styles are behaviours that affect a class of objects. Actions are behaviours that affect an individual object. Along with behaviours, Amber incorporates advanced collision algorithms that allow for fast and accurate collision detection down to the "point on a polygon face" accuracy. Amber uses OpenGL as the low level renderer on the SGI platform.
