Top 23 C++ Engine Projects

bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
Project mention: What would be most beneficial to learn to get back up to speed? | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2021-12-27Perhaps not quite what you're looking for, but I've had a reasonably good experience with bgfx. It's basically 1 level of abstraction above specific graphics APIs (GL, DirectX, etc). It is not a full game engine, just a rendering API.

OPS
OPS - Build and Run Open Source Unikernels. Quickly and easily build and deploy open source unikernels in tens of seconds. Deploy in any language to any cloud.

GamePlay

Project mention: Ogre 13.0.0 released! Open Source game engine. | reddit.com/r/linux_gaming | 2021-08-14

xray-16
Improved version of the X-Ray Engine, the game engine used in the world-famous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series by GSC Game World. Join OpenXRay! ;)
Project mention: If software (OpenXRay-engine in this case) has a BSD-style license, does that automatically mean I can make derivative works (eg a new game, unrelated to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) and sell them? | reddit.com/r/foss | 2021-11-28 -
Project mention: Do you think the Rust is production ready for GUI in 2021? | reddit.com/r/rust | 2021-08-04
Please try out Sciter with its Rust binding, I use it in my Rust project.
-
SonarQube
Static code analysis for 29 languages.. Your projects are multi-language. So is SonarQube analysis. Find Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots, and Code Smells so you can release quality code every time. Get started analyzing your projects today for free.

I know it's older, but solar2d is (a) still actively maintained, (b) really easy to learn, thanks to the resources on the website, and (c) can produce really impressive results.

Project mention: DirectX 11/12 Graphics Engine (WIP) | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2021-05-13
I've uploaded my graphics engine written in DirectX 11 on Github. Here is the link. I've tried to make implementations of all the features as straightforward as possible so they are all inside renderer in corresponding void Pass*() member function. This was inspired by approach seen in https://github.com/PanosK92/SpartanEngine. Hope it helps someone.

Project mention: This girl probably did 80% of your favorite female video game characters | reddit.com/r/gaming | 2021-12-15
I will note that my experience was that, at least for the originals and not the Enhanced or w/e, playing them with GemRB and the widescreen mod (and maybe a couple others I can't recall?) helped a bit on that front. Also I remember seeing someone playing BG on a jailbroken iPad posted somewhere on reddit once upon a time, using GemRB. That was kinda neat.

openmw-tes3mp
Multiplayer for OpenMW, a reimplementation of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind's engine.
Here's a link to the quickstart guide for TES3MP that should be all you need other than a copy of Morrowind.

Project mention: I created a tiny library that lets you embed filesystems into your C++11 executable for shipping resources like shaders with zero modifications to your code! Info in comments. | reddit.com/r/opengl | 2022-01-17
I have already integrated this into my personal engine TinyEngine (simply by making all file loading interfaces use stdio.h FILE* style interfaces). Any program built with this system can use either a real, relative file system or be built to have a virtual snapshot embedded into the executable!
-
If you'd like to learn to code (and I totally understand if that seems daunting or you just don't) there are some options short of coding it all yourself - for one, there are other, possibly more flexible engines. One I considered for a bit before rolling my own was https://github.com/Zal0/ZGB - he has several games with source available to help people get started.

Alternatively, you can create a view per mip and use a compute shader to compute the whole cube at once. This is what I have been doing

Why not joining forces with the sourcehold project? A lot of the scaffolding is already there: https://github.com/sourcehold/Sourcehold

Project mention: DooM on Arduino UNO with sound (instructions in video description) | reddit.com/r/arduino | 2021-12-31
Yes, https://github.com/daveruiz/doom-nano did a really amazing job in making a kinda doom running on atmega328, 3d rendering engine using just 1 kb of RAM (another 1 kb is needed as screen buffer) is mind-blowing
