  Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  Latest mention: I made a waterfall shader with lots of uniforms to play around with. Turn off the flow or make it look like slime, it's up to you. | reddit.com/r/godot | 2021-01-20

  It's actually pretty easy. First, clone the Godot Engine source code using git. Then, open a terminal, navigate to the godot directory, and do git checkout 3.2. This will change the source code to the latest version of the Godot 3.2 release.

• entt

  Gaming meets modern C++ - a fast and reliable entity component system (ECS) and much more

  Latest mention: My Simple c++ ECS implementation | reddit.com/r/roguelikedev | 2021-01-15

  The API reminds me a bit of EnTT (Disclaimer: I am considered a contributor, even through its just a few lines). It makes heavy use internally of type-erasure (which would among other things remove the need for a common base class component) and other tricks and ideas you might get some inspiration from for your implementation.

  Animation compression is a science in itself. https://github.com/nfrechette/acl is a pretty serious project for that.
