Phaser Box2D is a high-performance 2D physics engine built on Box2D v3, tailored for Phaser games. It delivers realistic physics simulations, enhancing the interactivity and engagement of web-based games.

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.

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...

...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.

Amazon Lumberyard is (or was) a free AAA-capable game engine developed by AWS, with deep integration into AWS cloud services and the Twitch streaming platform. It provided full source access and offered developers tools to build high-quality games and simulations with networking, rendering, physics and cloud backend features built in. The engine allowed game creators to hook into AWS infrastructure for multiplayer services, analytics, voice chat, and more, and leveraged Twitch to build live-stream-enabled experiences. Although Amazon has since archived the repository and transitioned focus to the open-source successor Open 3D Engine (O3DE), the project remains of interest as a large-scale example of cloud-enabled game engine architecture. ...

...It features a modern, component-based design (entity-component-system) and offers a full editor — enabling developers to build games in a WYSIWYG style similar to engines like Unity, while staying in a lightweight, open environment. The engine supports advanced rendering (with PBR, HDR, deferred rendering), physics, audio, animation, scripting (via Lua or even JavaScript via plugin), and more, giving it a robust feature set for realistic 3D games or simulations. Users appreciate that much of the engine — rendering, assets, scripting, editor — can be hot-reloaded, which greatly speeds up iteration. It runs on Windows and Linux, is MIT-licensed, and is backed by a community that provides documentation, demos, and examples (such as a demo platformer).
