3DWorld
3D Procedural Game Engine Using OpenGL
3DWorld is a cross-platform OpenGL-based 3D Game Engine that I've been working on since I took the CS184 computer graphics course at UC Berkeley in 2001. I converted the project from svn to git at commit 6607. Most of the code is written in C++, with GLSL for shaders. This is intended to be a cross-platform project. Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 project files are included. A linux/gcc makefile is also included, but is more experimental. See README.linux for more details. The project should build under gcc on linux with some work, but it's been a while since I tried this. I have an old makefile that is out of date, but may not take too much work to fixup and make it usable. Realtime day/night cycle with weather (rain, snow, hail, wind, lightning). Physically based materials with reflection and refraction. Dynamic shadows, ambient occlusion, up to 1024 dynamic light sources, postprocessing effects. Built-in first person shooter game "smiley killer". -

dhewm 3
dhewm 3 main repository
dhewm3 is a source port of the original Doom3 (not Doom3 BFG, for that you may want to try RBDoom3BFG). It’s known to work on Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and AROS, but it should work on (or be easily portable to) any system that supports OpenGL 1.4 with ARB shaders, SDL and OpenAL. Compared to the original version of Doom3, dhewm3 has many bugfixes, supports EAX-like sound effects on all operating systems and hardware (via OpenAL Softs EFX support), has much better support for widescreen resolutions and has 64bit support. It only supports old Mods if they either don’t require their own game DLL or have been ported to dhewm3. Note that while the Doom3 source code has been released under GPL, you still need to legally own the game and provide dhewm3 the game data to play. See the How to Install section for more information. -

Bevy
A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust
A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. All engine and game logic uses Bevy ECS, a custom Entity Component System. Massively Parallel and Cache-Friendly. The fastest ECS according to some benchmarks. Components are Rust structs, Systems are Rust functions. Queries, Global Resources, Local Resources, Change Detection, Lock-Free Parallel Scheduler. Bevy is still in the very early stages of development. APIs can and will change (now is the time to make suggestions!). Important features are missing. Documentation is sparse. Please don't build any serious projects in Bevy unless you are prepared to be broken by API changes constantly. Bevy relies heavily on improvements in the Rust language and compiler. As a result, the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is "the latest stable release" of Rust. Built directly on top of Bevy's ECS, Renderer, and Scene plugins. -

Jolt Physics
A multi core friendly rigid body physics and collision detection lib
A multi core friendly rigid body physics and collision detection library suitable for games and VR applications, used by Horizon Forbidden West. So why create yet another physics engine? First of all, this has been a personal learning project and secondly I wanted to address some issues that I had with existing physics engines. In games we usually need to do many more things than to simulate the physics world and we need to do this across multiple threads. We therefore place a lot of emphasis on concurrently accessing the physics simulation data outside of the main physics simulation update. Sections of the world can be loaded / unloaded in the background. A batch of physics bodies can be prepared on a background thread without locking or affecting the physics simulation and then inserted into the world all at once with a minimal impact on performance. -

OpenTK
The Open Toolkit library is a fast, low-level C# wrapper for OpenGL
The Open Toolkit is set of fast, portable, low-level C# bindings for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenAL, and OpenCL. It runs on all major platforms and powers hundreds of apps, games, and scientific research programs. OpenTK provides several utility libraries, including a math/linear algebra package, a windowing system, and input handling. OpenTK is not a game engine, nor does it try to be one: It offers a useful set of tools and lets you decide how to use them. It is the ideal starting point if you want to write a game or scientific application from the ground up. The OpenGL specification specifies exactly what the result/output of each function should be and how it should perform. It is then up to the developers implementing this specification to come up with a solution of how this function should operate. Since the OpenGL specification does not give us implementation details, the actual developed versions of OpenGL are allowed to have different implementations. -
