Luanti
Voxel game-creation platform with easy modding and game creation
Luanti, originally known as Minetest, is a free, open-source voxel game engine and platform designed to let players, modders, and developers build and play diverse sandbox-style 3D worlds. Written in C++ for core performance and Lua for scripting, Luanti runs on multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD variants and even Android), making it highly accessible and cross-platform. Rather than being a single game, Luanti is meant as an engine and toolkit: individual “games” are actually collections of mods — written in Lua — that define terrain, items, NPCs, mechanics, and rules. This modular design enables rich customization and community-driven content: users can install new games, mods, and texture packs via a built-in content browser that draws from a central repository (ContentDB). Luanti supports both single-player and multiplayer via servers; players can host their own or join publicly listed ones, with server-side mods being applied automatically. -

OGRE
scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine (C++, Python, C#, Java)
OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++ designed to make it easier and more intuitive for developers to produce games and demos utilizing 3D hardware. The class library abstracts all the details of using the underlying system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and provides an interface based on world objects and other intuitive classes. We consider the results of our GL3Plus RenderSystem as the gold standard. The respective shaders are generated by the RTSS component with per-pixel specular lighting. Therefore the legacy render systems naturally have differences due to the use of fixed-function. However, when rendering diffuse surface both produce pixel-perfect results. Simple, easy to use OO interface designed to minimise the effort required to render 3D scenes, and to be independent of 3D implementation i.e. Direct3D/OpenGL. -

Android Game Engine
Multi-threaded game engine for Android
AGE is a multi-threaded game engine for Android with OpenGL ES2 shader-based rendering. In-depth GL knowledge isn't necessary to start; use the OBJ loader to import models from Blender and elsewhere, attach textures, and start rendering! Threads run different activities, e.g. initialization, framerate, timer, game cycle. Apartment model with message passing. The drawing cycle is inverted from typical game loops. Framerate has a dedicated timer, and SurfaceView is in on-demand rendering mode. Game Objects (GOs) opt-in to services by implementing the "marker" interface for each one it wants. GOs enter the system via Install Pipeline, an asynchronous "standard" implementation that keys on the marker interfaces and performs the "protocol" for that marker. There are also Event and Uninstall pipelines. Reference by name is encouraged. A trip through the pipeline includes a Bind Name List; allows GO to connect to interfaces in other GOs on the other End.
