Lix, also known as L++ or LixD, is a Lemmings-like engine created in the 1990s by Simon Naarmann. It is coded in D and is avaliable for 32-bit and 64-bit computers for 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 Lemmings), and containg network multi-player (similar to Amiga Lemmings). As a result of this, it is widely considered to be the second-most popular Lemmings engine (second to NeoLemmix).
History
Lix was initially called L++ and used Lemmings instead of Lix, but Simon changed it so he'd have all the copyright-free sprites as a saftey net (as they are time-consuming to create), and so he could put it on his resume.
Community
Lix has an IRC channel on Quakenet, and it's own collection of boards on Lemmings Forums.
