Can Blockland's rendering engine be expanded?

Caves and other dark places aren't supposed to be bright, even in day.
Its fine but it would be nice to have a way for bricks to cast on other bricks even though it would probably send everyones computer to hell and back.

Maybe a separate version of Blockland that literally will check the user's specifications?
You download Blockland, right? It checks your specs, and if it passes, it enables higher end graphics. However if it does not pass, it will completely disallow any special graphics with no workarounds to prevent stupid people from trying anyway. And by higher end graphics I mean ambient occlusion, dynamic shadows, etc.

It wouldn't necessarily need to be separate, but it would keep the complete idiots in check.
Just like ID's not being shown by default.

Now, no one else has it(and it'd be illegal for Badspot to distribute) so only Badspot can do that. Now that's too much work for him and it wouldn't be worth it, plus he's usually lazy. :S

Badspot with a source code? What's that?
Even if I bought a license to use torque engine he still can't give me the code?

Not his highly edited one.
