    Vanda Engine

    Vanda Engine

    A free 3D game engine to create games and realtimes scenes for Windows

    Vanda Engine is a free and open source 3D game engine for Windows. I'm developing this game engine for years to help the students and other enthusiast learn game engine programming and develop 3D games for free. While giant companies are building game engines with huge budget and a lot of manpower, I'm developing this free 3D game engine alone with no budget. I have published step by step tutorials about Vanda Engine, 3D tools, and COLLADA format: https://vanda3d.org/tutorials/ Please follow Vanda Engine on Facebook to be informed about what I'm doing: http://facebook.com/vandaengine Check out Vanda Engine website to see how Vanda Engine is getting work done: https://vanda3d.org/ It will be appreciated if you donate to this project so I can buy required software and books and hire people to produce free 2D and 3D assets and educational videos and tutorials for this game engine: https://vanda3d.org/donate/

    AlphaGenesis

    A retro style video game engine for RPGs and adventure games.

    The AlphaGenesis project aims to create both a high quality, strategy oriented, SNES style turn based RPG, and an engine for building top down perspective 2D games. I have been writing the engine in my spare time over the past few years. It currently contains a game client and map editor. It is mostly complete as an engine, but there are a few features I still plan to add. AlphaGenesis is being developed with the intention of being cross platform and easily extensible, so that people without much programming experience will be able to add content to games with little effort. I am pushing to get a playable demo out by the end of January 2014.

    RPi-64

    computer simulation for my raspberry pi

    Pi64 is not an emulator, it just mimics the 80's classic 8bit computers with SDL based graphics and RtAudio based sound. The fullscreen editor for shell and the built-in program editor help you create your own programs and games. Programming language is LUA, but Pi64 is open for any library plugins written in your favourite language. Source was written in pure C, so should compile on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux without issues.
