[Khaz]

i want to say the answer is openGL

[phflack]

just writing out what each thing is, as it doesn't make sense for BL to be classified as IRC

IRC - Internet Relay Chat (normally chat in games is not labeled as IRC, IRC clients are normally more limited to only chat)
FTP - File Transfer Protocol (BL is a game, not a protocol/file sharing system)
H.323 - a protocol for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) (first I've heard of this, and BL doesn't do voice/video conferencing)
DirectX - microsoft's APIs for things like rendering/audio (BL uses OpenGL instead of DirectX)
PPTP - Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (used for virtual private networks, simulating a LAN network across the internet)
SIP - Session Initiation Protocol (communications protocol for signaling, used in video calls and whatnot)

so yeah, most of these don't make sense in relation to BL

Blockland is written in C++, turned into a game engine (Torque) with a custom language, and then released as a game. It uses OpenGL for graphics and OpenAL for audio.
