The Retribution Engine is a 3D game engine that is used to make first person shooter games. The engine is open source and is supplied with a suite of editing tools that allow the development of customized games. The engine and the original game, Corridors of Power, are available for download from a range of websites (most notably demonews.com and TheGameHippo.com) and have been featured in news articles and software listings on notable sites such as opengl.org.
The engine has been in development for over a decade and has contributed over 150,000 lines of code to the open source community. The engine provides powerful features often only seen in commercial game engines without heavy reliance on third-party libraries. Thus it is highly customisable and also provides valuable educational information to anyone interested in writing 3D games.

—William, Lord Shawcross (b. 1902)
“The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is perfect, the engineer is nobody. Every new step in improving the engine restricts one more act of the engineer,—unteaches him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
