What is a good absolutely minimalist game/rendering engine?

• BabylonJS

  63 22,456 10.0 TypeScript

  Babylon.js is a powerful, beautiful, simple, and open game and rendering engine packed into a friendly JavaScript framework.

  

I unfortunately can't think of any off the top of my head - if you're interested in seeing what some people have done, start by checking out babylon.js first, it's a full engine (development seems to be at least partially funded by Microsoft). Then check three.js (3D webgl) and PIXI.js (2D webgl); there's lots of examples and community project show cases.

• three.js

  JavaScript 3D Library.

Someone recommended The Forge render framework to me, bit I haven't tried it. Seems to already have a lot of platform support.

• ozz-animation

  4 2,257 5.6 C++

  Open source c++ skeletal animation library and toolset

I'm not sure that even Sokol has animation support built in. The animation sample appears to use OZZ Animation, which could probably be used with the other rendering libraries too.
