WeakAuras is a powerful and flexible framework that allows the display of highly customizable graphics on World of Warcraft's user interface to indicate buffs, debuffs, and other relevant information. This addon was created to be a lightweight replacement for Power Auras but has since introduced more functionalities while remaining efficient and easy to use. An intuitive and powerful configuration interface. Custom textures including all textures from Power Auras and Blizzard's spell alerts. Progress bars and textures that show the exact duration of auras. Displays based on auras, health, power (mana, rage, soul shards, holy power, etc.), cooldowns, combat events, runes, totems, items, and many other triggers. Preset and user-defined animations. Custom side-effects such as chat announcements or sounds. Grouping, which allows multiple displays to be positioned and configured at the same time. CPU optimizations such as conditional loading/unloading of displays, modularity, etc.

wxLua is a Lua scripting language wrapper for the wxWidgets cross-platform GUI library. It consists of executables for editing, running, and debugging wxLua scripts, a library for extending C++ programs with a fast, small, fully embeddable scripting language, and a variety of sample programs. With wxLua you can quickly write full-featured programs with graphics, networking, printing, etc. for MS Windows, Linux, and OSX.

CD (Canvas Draw) is a platform-independent graphics library. It is implemented in several platforms using native graphics libraries: Windows (GDI) and X-Windows (XLIB). The canvas is an abstract surface that can be a window, an image or a metafile.

IM is a toolkit for Digital Imaging. IM is based on 4 concepts: Image Representation, Storage, Processing and Capture. The main goal of the library is to provide a simple API and abstraction of images for scientific applications.

BoomBot is a developer's framework for writing a bot connecting to the AIM network. It manages the network communication for the bots so that they can be easily written without worrying about AIM itself at all. Bots can be written in Objective-C or Lua.

CoPP is an object-oriented framework for developing algorithms for robot path planning. One of of the design goals is to make it easy to make comparisons between various path planning algorithms.

CppLua is an object oriented framework to deal with Lua objects and functions in C++. Member functions can be registered into Lua and Lua functions and tables can be used in C++ code with a very simple and intuitive syntax.

hiperGL - Is a 2D OpenGL hardware accelerated blitter, graphic loader, frame manager, a DIV like sprite system, and more utilities for creating video games. It works under SDL. It's portable, and easy to use.

I think it will be the brother of dogengine.

Doom Nvim is a Neovim interpretation of the doom-emacs framework, adapted to Vim philosophy. Our goal is to provide a configurable, extensible, performant and stable basis for any neovim configuration.

Lapis is a framework for building web applications in Lua (or MoonScript) that primarily targets OpenResty, a high-performance web platform that runs on a customized version of Nginx. Lapis can also be used in other server environments, being compatible with any modern version of Lua. With OpenResty, Lua is run directly inside of the Nginx worker using LuaJIT, giving you the smallest barrier between the webserver and your code. Have a look at Web Framework Benchmarks just to see how OpenResty stacks up against other platforms. Utilizing the power of Lua coroutines, you can write clean code that looks synchronous but can achieve high throughput by automatically running asynchronously without blocking. Networking operations like database queries and HTTP requests will automatically yield to allow for handling concurrent requests, all without all that callback spaghetti seen in other asynchronous platforms.

Leadwerks Arena is an open source first-person/third-person arena game for online play between players. It is a community created tech demo for the Leadwerks Engine 2.1 and showcase of Phoenix.Framework.
