  • bevy

    A refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust

    • Project mention: Voronoi, Manhattan, random | dev.to | 2024-04-26

    Bevy. A very young engine where you need to write the game entirely in Rust—that was appealing. But fatal flaws overshadowed everything: no editor, the engine brutally enforces the ECS approach, and the game's architecture must literally bend to fit this paradigm. So, you won't migrate to another engine at all—you just throw away all the code and start from scratch.

  • libGDX

    Desktop/Android/HTML5/iOS Java game development framework

    • Project mention: Show HN: Integer Map Data Structure | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-24

    Neat, thank you! I'd love to see how it compares to the libgdx IntMap[0].

    • Project mention: Show HN: 3D Framework for the Web. Built on Svelte and Three.js | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-29

    Cool project!

    For those who prefer a more vanilla approach, A-frame [1] is nice.

  • OpenRA

    • Project mention: The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24

    Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

  • pyxel

    A retro game engine for Python

    • Project mention: Show HN: Driftmania – an open source PICO-8 racing game | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-16

    Nice work, gives me very Micro Machines vibes for the NES. The only thing I don't like about PICO-8 is that its completely closed source. An open source alternative that seems very promising is Pyxel. It has similar retro / pixel art limitations, a built-in sprite editor, music tracker, etc.

  • magictools

  • MonoGame

    One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

    • Project mention: The MonoGame Foundation launch | /r/monogame | 2023-11-15

    To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.

  • Minetest

    Minetest is an open source voxel game-creation platform with easy modding and game creation

    • Project mention: Lessons from Open-Source Game Projects | dev.to | 2024-04-10

    Minetest - Minecraft-inspired voxel game engine. C++

  • Ebiten

    Ebitengine - A dead simple 2D game engine for Go

    • Project mention: Lag Is Never Where You Want It... Or Don't Want It | dev.to | 2024-05-01

    Reading ebiten docs and source code they very clearly state that writing RGBA bytes to an image is slow, and shouldn't really be done every frame, at least many times per frame. This is where I thought my performance was being lost, and it sent me looking for answers for ages. Turns out, I was wrong and right.

  • boardgame.io

    State Management and Multiplayer Networking for Turn-Based Games

    • Project mention: Show HN: Boardzilla, a framework for making web-based board games | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-29

    If you're looking for something more low-level, I can recommend boardgame.io [1].
