[casual_games] 3rd party engines/frameworks

[David Ludwig]

It might be possible to get Torque 2D working well on a lower-end 
machine using RAD's Pixomatic product 
("http://www.radgametools.com/pixomain.htm").  This might require a bit 
of modification to Torque.  If it can display gfx using Direct3D, this 
might be an easy add-in, as Pixomatic includes a Direct3D wrapper of 
some sorts.  I have not used it myself though.

Pixomatic isn't cheap though, although I heard they might start offering 
reduced pricing for casual games.
