    libGDX

    libGDX

    Desktop/Android/HTML5/iOS Java game development framework

    libGDX is a cross-platform Java game development framework based on OpenGL (ES) that works on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, your browser and iOS. libGDX provides a well-tried and robust environment for rapid prototyping and fast iterations. libGDX does not force a specific design or coding style on you; it rather gives you the freedom to create a game the way you prefer. Publish your games on Windows, macOS, Linux (including the RPi!), Android, iOS, and HTML5, all with the same code base. libGDX comes with batteries included. Write 2D or 3D games and let libGDX worry about low-level details. Heavy emphasis is put on avoiding garbage collection for ART/JavaScript by careful API design and the use of custom collections. libGDX is a well proven and reliable framework with a sound base and documentation. Furthermore, there are plenty of games built on top of libGDX, many of which are open source.

    Dungeon Craft

    Updated emulator of Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures

    Up to date code, including latest engine and editor releases: https://github.com/grannypron/uaf Dungeon Craft Community Forums: https://forums.goldbox.games/index.php#c8 Dungeon Craft is an adventure creator that emulates the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Gold Box RPG's released by SSI. Initially designed to be a "more unlimited" version of the Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures (FRUA) game editor and engine, it has far surpassed the capabilities of the old FRUA system. The editor is used to configure art, items, monsters, spells, special abilities, classes and races.. Each adventure is self-contained and doesn't require the editor to be played. The editor is extremely versatile and the databases are completely designer created allowing easy additions and modifications to spells, monsters, items, classes, races and special abilities, and are exportable to be easily shared with others or used in other designs.

    KonsolScript and Game Engine

    KonsolScript and Game Engine

    Free and Open Game Programming Language for Windows and GNU/Linux

    KonsolScript is a free and open source, scripting language primarily intended for 2D games development. KonsolScript Development Team believes that the unavailability of games on GNU/Linux desktops is one of the major concerns why people keep using unauthorized copies of proprietary OS over GNU/Linux and that is something the Development Team is ought to address – we are doing our part to help promote GNU/Linux as a viable gaming platform for desktops both for Game Publishers and Gamers. The whole Game Development Kit is suitable for teaching 2D game programming. The end goal of this project is to have a common gaming platform for Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS, including mobile platforms like Android where any newbie can learn how to make his game/animation etc. A lot of work has been made and a lot more is to be done. It might need to hire programmers to make an engine for Android, and Mac OS, then some in-house testers for stability among these platform

    tStudio3D
    tStudio3D is published here on SourceForge.net as part of an effort to curate it as an old-school game development platform -- as a museum artifact. This curation work is being done so that young enthusiasts can explore a sampling of the early tools in 3D game development from the late 1990s and early 2000s. In support of this curation effort, tStudio3D has been freshly rebuilt to run on Windows 11 using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (as of April 2023). No future development is planned. tStudio3D is a set of realtime 3D applications based on a custom implementation of the Genesis3D game engine. Use tDesigner3D to create BSP maps. Organize scenes live with tDirector3D. Distribute and run tDirector3D scenes with tDeployer3D.
