Orion Engine : 3D Game Engine

THEIMPORTANT

Orion Engine (O#) is a high-performance game engine built in Scratch.

It is meant to execute commands as fast as possible with no exception.

Example script:

SET 1 10
ADD R1 R1 5
PRINT R1

Output: 15

START HERE

You don’t need to understand everything to contribute.

Try one of these:
- Suggest a new command
- Test the system and report issues

Note: The engine is currently in development. Early contributors will help shape how O# works from the ground up.

– PlANNED FEATURES v0.1 –
These are the features that are going to be in the first version of the engine. We will try to keep the engine simple but usable for now.

- Module Development: Users can drag and drop sprites as modules into the engine.

- Scripting: Users can script in a language known as O# (Orion Script)

- Asset Design: Users can create assets entirely within the project with built-in asset creation features.

- Encoding Compression: Users can save the project they created into a string which should be compressed into a shorter string so it can be shared with others.

Rules & Regulations
To manage a big project, rules have been implemented to make this collaboration managable. Breaking these rules repeatedly may lead to reporting the user.

- No creation of Reply Chains (Considered as spam)
- No Spamming in this forum
- No leaks to people outside this collaboration

Team & Applying
You can also contribute without applying — the form is optional.

All people who take part in this collaboration will be divided into categories as follows:

I would like to be in wing A. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” — JFK
I believe this quote perfectly describes why I want to be in Wing A (System Design) for the Orion Engine (O#). Building a high-performance engine in Scratch is incredibly hard, but that is exactly what makes it exciting. I don't just want to make simple games; I want to build the systems that allow others to make games.
I want to be part of the core development team because I love diving into the logic behind how things work. I am comfortable with complex scripting, variables, custom blocks, and data management—the backbone of O#. I understand that this is a long-term, time-consuming project, and I am fully committed to putting in the effort to make Orion a reality.
I want to help build the O# scripting system and the module development system, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in Scratch. I am ready to help create a new, high-performance engine and bring tough, technical challenges to life.

Okay bro, you can just fill in the application. That quote was my signature, not anything dedicated to the project lol.

Also, production starts when at least 3 developers are there, including me.
