Top 23 Game Open-Source Projects
-
PixiJS
The HTML5 Creation Engine: Create beautiful digital content with the fastest, most flexible 2D WebGL renderer.
And if that seems to up your alley you could look into Javascript game/renderer frameworks. They have 2D engines like https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser or https://github.com/pixijs/pixijs . Or my personal choice A-Frame which is a 3D, AR and VR engine (XR) https://github.com/aframevr/ .

assuming you use that (https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/blob/master/build.gradle) as your starting point. You first have to ask what it is that your build should cover. Do you need all the spotless checks and release flags and so on or do you just need to package everything up so that it could run.

Project mention: Since the Magnus Carlsen / Hans Niemann scandal i got myself a new tournament chessboard and played nearly 60 games in 14 days (online too). The last time i´ve played chess was over 12 years ago... [Image] | reddit.com/r/GetMotivated | 2022-11-29
However, I recommend lichess.org instead.

OpenRA
Open Source real-time strategy game engine for early Westwood games such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert written in C# using SDL and OpenGL. Runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X.
Project mention: WestWood needs to make a comeback and save Command and Conquer series! | reddit.com/r/gaming | 2022-11-08 -
In August the Definitive Edition of AoE2 received an update that changed its default graphics files from the previously used SMX format to the new SLD format. Since the AoE2 devs did not publish any information about the format, we had to reverse engineer it ourselves (together with Tevious from SLX Studio, spriteblood from Overreign and simonsan from the LibreMatch project). You can find the reversed specification in the openage repository (Link).

Project mention: Messing around with full-circuit Inverted Impulse coasters a la Volcano -- sharing some findings in the comments, as it's a cool coaster archetype I don't see a lot of discussion around! Would love to see more community builds in this style. | reddit.com/r/rct | 2022-11-24

Project mention: Are C programs only used for terminal based interaction? | reddit.com/r/cprogramming | 2022-11-17
When this subject comes up, I always like to link to one of the many Minecraft clones written in C. https://github.com/fogleman/Craft

I use Tiled.

MonoGame is a great way to make 2D games. It's not an authoring tool and depending on what you want to do a fully fledged game engine may be a better choice, but "I want to make a 2D, point me to an engine" is very unspecific. If you could eloborate more what you want to do, the suggestion would also be more profound. Game Engines are just tools and choosing one over another is not something a beginner should really care about that much. But I bet, using MonoGame will be a great learning experience, boost your programming skills and switching to a game engine later will be easier than the other way around.

Cataclysm-DDA
Cataclysm - Dark Days Ahead. A turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world.
Project mention: Physical strength should be overhauled on how it is affected by the stat and mutations. | reddit.com/r/cataclysmdda | 2022-12-01At the very least, I can say that 15 strength isn't superhuman, that would be >20. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/blob/master/doc/GAME_BALANCE.md Here is a link to one of the development documents that articulates what each level of strength is supposed to mean. Hulks in this system would have much more than 20 strength, considering they can shove cars around and are "the size of 6 men." You're not likely going to match a hulk's strength even as a top-tier bear mutant without debugging or mods cuz hulks are just bigger than bears.

Project mention: crten - a small tool to view your pixel art with a CRT screen effect | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2022-11-15
This program also demonstrates how great Ebitengine is and how you can port GLSL shaders to it almost 1 to 1.
