@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ A free/libre reimplementation of Snowblind Studios' engine used in Baldur's Gate
### Why the name?
Well, the original engine was called either the Snowblind Engine, after the studio that made it, or the Dark Alliance Engine, after the first game that used it, but both of those names are potentially trademarked. And [the repository that inspired this one](https://github.com/bigianb/frostbite) unfortunately shares a name with the much more well-known Frostbite Engine by DICE of _Battlefield_ fame, which is a bit confusing, to say the least.
Snowlight refers to the light reflected off of snow, and snowblind is what results from that bright light reflecting into your eyes, which seemed like a perfect fit. It also sounds nicer than a more generic name like OpenBGDA or OpenSB.
### Why not continue working on the old repository?
