Trial is a real-time, 3D game engine written in Common Lisp, offering a modern and modular approach to game development using the expressive power of Lisp. Built on top of the cepl graphics framework, Trial combines live-coding capabilities with powerful abstractions for building simulations, scenes, and interactive applications. It emphasizes flexibility, clarity, and developer control, making it an appealing choice for experimental games, visualizations, and research projects that benefit from dynamic development environments and rapid prototyping.

Planck.js is a JavaScript rewrite/port of the physics engine Box2D, designed to provide 2D rigid-body physics simulation usable directly in web contexts or any JavaScript environment. By offering collision detection, rigid-body dynamics, joints, and simulation capabilities, Planck.js makes it possible for developers to build physically realistic 2D games, simulations, or visualizations in browsers or Node.js without relying on native code. Its API mirrors Box2D’s concepts — bodies, fixtures,...

...It offers a comprehensive set of physics features like gravity, collisions, restitution (bounces), friction, sleeping bodies, and constraint systems that enable developers to build interacting objects with realistic motion. This engine can power everything from dynamic interactive animations and educational simulations to fully fledged physics-based games, and it works across major browsers and devices. Through modules such as Matter.Body, Matter.Composite, and Matter.Constraint, developers can create complex scenes with multiple bodies, jointed structures, and collision responses. Matter.js is popular in the web development community due to its simplicity, extensibility, and rich documentation, allowing both beginners and experienced programmers to leverage physics without deep expertise.

GEK (Game Excelleration Kit) is a game engine focused on providing interactive 3D simulations.
