DescriptionA team of 9 students were behind Tread Lightly. The Engine used to build Tread Lightly was built from the ground up in C++ and utilized a component based architecture. Graphics rendering was done using OpenGL. Audio Implementation was done with the help of Fmod Studio's Low Level API. AntTweakBar was utilized for our level editor.
