  3. vim-godot

    Use vim and godot engine to make games

    You can run a godot scene without the editor open. I use an editor plugin to do that. However, you'd have to create a scene with a node or setup an autoload in the editor. But then you'd have a code entry point. Godot would get you physics and scenes, and in my limited experience Godot seems capable of being very code driven. But there's tons of features that I don't know how you'd use without the editor (animations).

  4. U3D

    Open-source, cross-platform 2D and 3D game engine built in C++

    good engines for C++ that meet your requirements https://github.com/u3d-community/U3D https://github.com/rbfx/rbfx i highly recommend taking a look at rbfx, U3D doesn't have all the fancy features that rbfx has but deep down they are the same engine almost. They are forks of Urho3D, a mature engine that has existed from the year of 2011/2010.

  5. rbfx

    Lightweight Game Engine/Framework in C++17 with WYSIWYG Editor. Experimental C# bindings.
