Turn engine is a generic game engine that enables a developer to write a browser-based strategy game in a fraction of the time it would normally take. Currently there are six games under development for the engine:
- Dark Galaxy
- Eternal Storm
- Shadow Wars
- Dark Conflict
- Gangland Wars
- Space Tycoons

The XML given below is the bulk of the setup XML for the game of Dark Galaxy as it stands now (and be aware it WILL change, so combat values are not that useful to those wanting to figure out the best combat combinations or how i perform combat in general!).
