    raylib

    raylib

    A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming

    raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework. Do you want to see all functions available in raylib? Check raylib cheatsheet. raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no auto-debugging, just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way. raylib has received several recognitions in the last years and many people have written about the library. Here there are the main awards received from Google and Epic Games. raylib supports multiple target platforms, it has been tested in the following platforms but, technically, any platform that supports C language and OpenGL graphics is valid for raylib or can be very easily ported to. raylib can be combined with several extra libraries for additional functionality, some of those libraries are already used internally while others are provided for user integration, most of these libraries are single-file header-only with no external dependencies.

    Libdragon

    Libdragon

    Open source library for N64 development

    Libdragon is an open-source SDK that enables developers to create software and games for the Nintendo 64 using modern programming tools and practices. It replaces the original proprietary development kits with a fully open toolchain based on GCC and standard C libraries, allowing a more accessible and flexible development experience. The library provides both low-level access to hardware and higher-level abstractions for graphics, audio, and input handling. It supports advanced features such as accelerated 2D rendering and efficient memory management tailored to the N64 architecture. Developers can test builds on emulators or real hardware using flash cartridges. The project is designed to modernize N64 development while maintaining compatibility with the console’s original capabilities. Overall, it serves as a complete and modern environment for retro game development.

    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.

    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.
