What is Spectrum?
Spectrum is a simple, yet powerful extension system for Refract Studios' game Distance It allows you to write DLL plugins to customize the game's experience and make it do things the original game's developers didn't even think about. It's being constantly updated by one of the Distance community members (sans small development breaks).
