Lix, formerly known as L++, is a Lemmings-like engine created in the 1990s by Simon Naarmann coded in D avaliable for 32-bit and 64-bit computers on Windows and Linux. The two major selling points of Lix is that it's completely copyright-free (using its own character which are a female version of the Lemmings), and it has network multi-player similar to how Amiga Lemmings did. As a result of this, it is widely considered to be the second-most popular Lemmings engine (second only to NeoLemmix).

History

Lix was initially called L++ and used Lemmings instead of Lix, but Simon changed it for a multitudie of reasons, including if already wanting to have all the new sprites ready as a saftey net (as they took ages to create), and so he could put it on his resume.
