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. -

Redot Engine
Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine
Redot Engine is an open-source game engine that aims to provide a flexible foundation for building games — likely offering a modern, modular structure so developers can compose only the systems they need (rendering, physics, input, scripting, etc.). It is built to give a base framework rather than a full “batteries-included” engine, which makes it suitable for developers who prefer minimalism, want complete control over architecture, or desire to build custom workflows. Because it’s open-source, Redot-Engine is potentially community-driven, allowing anyone to inspect, extend, or customize core functionalities. Its modularity and open nature make it attractive for indie developers or hobbyists who want to avoid heavyweight engines with lots of built-in assumptions. Even if the engine may not yet rival more mature engines in features or polish, its openness and design philosophy can offer an appealing balance between simplicity and flexibility. -

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. -
14
OpenFL
Open source library for creative expression on the web, desktop, etc.
OpenFL is a free and open-source, cross-platform software framework that empowers developers to create rich interactive applications and games using a single codebase that can run on web browsers, mobile devices, desktops, and even some consoles. It builds on the Haxe programming language and offers a familiar display list and event-driven API inspired by classic Adobe Flash and AIR, allowing developers to leverage well-known paradigms while targeting modern platforms. OpenFL supports 2D and limited 3D graphics rendering, audio playback, advanced user input (mouse, touch, keyboard, gamepads), rich text formatting, asset management, networking, and file system access, making it a comprehensive foundation for interactive experiences. Projects written with OpenFL can compile to native C++ executables, JavaScript/WebGL for web, or run through app runtimes like Electron without plugins, enabling high performance and broad reach. -

Urho3D
Urho3D Game engine
Urho3D is a game engine made by developers, for developers. The code is clean and well-commented. Urho3D is free and will always be free. There is no hidden royalties. It is IDE-agnostic and has no vendor lock-in. Urho3D runs on Windows, Linux, macOS/iOS/tvOS, Android, and even on Raspberry Pi. It also runs on your browsers. You need an installed Urho3D library for the desired target platform to proceed. Although the Urho3D build system also supports linking the Urho3D library directly from its build tree, this quick start section will not be discussing it here. Assuming you have been following along from the previous section, execute the following commands to create a new UrhoApp project, and then build it. The build artifacts from DBE can be found in the usual location as the conventional (non-dockerized) build environment. In fact the build artifacts from DBE should function and work as if they are built using the conventional way too. -
