All of the beta versions use the voxlap engine while the 1.X versions use a custom openGL engine by Jagex

The custom engine grew out of basically Mat^2's work rewriting the core of Voxlap with openGL and doing most of the game-specific stuff with Python. My guess is Jagex doesn't touch Mat's engine internals too much.

No you can't. Jagex owns it and the only way you'll ever see it is if you get hired by them.

Or decompile/disassemble the game.

Didn't we have a discussion on why it was inefficient and not worth it to do that Green_normal

I think the issue is it results in Jagex getting money

We had a discussion on why we couldn't disassemble 0.x and add to it. Decompiling 1.0 (which is mostly written in Python) to look at the engine is an entirely different matter.

Oh. Didn't know the engine was actually written in Python. I assumed those were all server side scripting like pyspades.

Wait what? 1.x engine is written in Python? Isn't Python interpreted?

0.75 uses Voxlap and 1.0 uses some OpenGl thingy.
