    WGDIGameEngine

    A simple WinAPI game engine

    The WGDIEngine is a simple game engine that relies solely on the functions naturally provided by the WinAPI. It was developed for educative purposes and is not meant for usage in complex projects, as it is optimized for understanding, not performance. Designed as an abstract generic Singleton class, you need to derive your own engine from this class and customize it to fit your needs. WGDIEngine is made to support the most basic necessities of simple games providing an interface for key and mouse input and using double buffered drawings as output. There is no sound or extended image support. If you need this, use a real game engine instead.

    gbDoom3

    gbDoom3

    A fork of dhewm3 with an emphasis on modernisation and vanilla Doom 3

    gbDoom3 is a fork of dhewm3 with a series of modernisations, performance improvements and an emphasis on being bug-compatible with vanilla Doom 3. This does NOT support the BFG edition of Doom 3. This fork was created to give an overhaul to Doom 3 that the parent project isn't willing to do. Performance improvements for macOS (Intel and M1) as well as additional assembler code for such systems, removing legacy code for SSE support, making Carmack's reverse standard and reverting all config file changes to allow gbDoom3 to be a perfect drop-in replacement for Doom 3. For all intents and purposes, this is the only Doom 3 port you need.
