Open Source Game Development Frameworks

XAMOS is a cross-platform reimplementation of AMOS BASIC based on jAMOS, fully re-written in C++ with SDL libraries. Currently runtime only, however is widely compatible with jAMOS projects.

This is a reference OpenGL client for the AESOP multiplayer game framework.

These are the core (interface plus shared client/server) libraries used by the AESOP multiplayer game framework. This repository includes the fully functional AESOP server (with sample game logic). These libraries are also used by the reference client, aesop-client.

This is the server for the AESOP multiplayer game framework.

AquaGL is a small experimental project to develop and provide open-source game development tools and library code.

CrossBrowdy is a free and open-source JavaScript framework that allows to create multimedia apps, emulators, game engines and games that will be compatible with any device. Any software developed with CrossBrowdy should be able to be used in any JavaScript compatible web client (including browser plug-in, add-on, extension, app...) which supports "document.getElementById". This framework allows any developer to manage easier many different things, such as audio (with Flash fallback, audio pool, etc.), canvas (with DHTML, VML, Flash or Silverlight fallbacks), screen, mouse, keyboard, gamepads, sockets (including PHP proxy fallback), XHR / AJAX (with PHP proxy for cross-domain requests), device sensors (compass / magnetometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, light sensor, proximity sensor...) and many more.

This project is about creating A Web-based collaborative development environment that enables users of Web 2.0 communities and Web-based social networks to create and share interactive applications collaboratively.

EntropyEngine is a Java based 2D game engine. This project is intended for learning game engine design, and detailed tutorials can be found at the project's homepage.

Eye of God (EOG) is a generic component based framework for application development in particular videogames. It provides a way to build game engines in a structured and robust manner.

An adaptable program meant for design of 2D or pseudo-3D role-playing games using a minimum of programming. Users can create new resource types and get automatically generated editors for them, as well as write scripts to be run by the engine.

GPX is mainly a physics engine, written in C++, focused on real time simulations. Project also provides a graphics library, built on top of SFML. Physics part is independent from graphics library and can be used with any other front-end.

This is a simple OpenGL-based library to demonstrate how to integrate the Gamepad library into applications.

The Glou (Game LOUnge) Project is an open, cross-platform game lounge system, used to play online with people from around the world, browsing through and easily joining multiplayer games.

Hungry Hero is an open source Flash game developed with the Starling Framework, designed as an educational example for developers interested in Stage3D and GPU-accelerated game development. The game demonstrates how to leverage Starling’s features to create smooth, hardware-accelerated 2D experiences while maintaining cross-device compatibility through Adobe AIR and Flash. It showcases core concepts such as handling textures, sprite sheets, parallax backgrounds, and collision detection, providing a clear reference for building interactive games. The project also integrates advanced techniques like object pooling for performance, bitmap fonts for efficient text rendering, and Starling’s particle system extension for visual effects. Though originally built with the iPad 1 and 2 in mind, it can be adapted to multiple devices by adjusting configuration files, emphasizing the principle of “one code, multi-screen.”

Isometric engine for 2D rendering. Supported frameworks: * SDL * XNA * easily extendable to other frameworks Features: * diamond maps of different width and height * user defined tile size (via rendering metrics) * supports 1 static tile + and any amount of movable elements per cell * z-order display * supports animated tiles * supports zooming (ability to define tilesets for different rendering metrics and switch between them) * supports multi-cell elements

Jadeite Engine is a free cross-platform 3D game development framework. It provides rendering, sound, networking and physics. Please visit the project homepage!

Longford is a 2D, Lua-based game engine for Windows. It has the following features: + Sprite hierarchy. Sprites drawn in order according to a display "tree" allowing grouping of complex drawings. + Frame update, keypress and (multi)touch events which propagate through the display tree. + Creation of Sprites including polygon Shapes and rectangular Bitmaps with transparency (import as PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TGA) + Creation of Textfields based on bitmap fonts. + Translation, rotation and scaling of sprites. + Box2D physics engine. + Play sound effects using WAV files and stream music using OGG files. + Automatic tweening system + Texture atlases so that many Bitmaps can be "cut out" of a single larger picture file. + Supports user-written shaders for advanced graphic effects. + Automatic resolution scaling. + Supports OpenGL or DirectX backend

A roguelike utilizing procedurally-generated content so that no two dungeons or characters are alike, a game world that evolves independently of the character, advanced AI for monsters and characters to provide an immersive gaming experience.

We are in the process of creating a open source persistent browser based web game (PBBG) framework which will have all the features to get you started and let you start developing your unique features without having to write all the basics. We have taken a modular approach, you can use only the modules you want. If you wanted just a forum you could enable only the core, user and forum modules. We are building our framework using Kohana which is an open source, object oriented (H)MVC web framework built using PHP5 by a team of volunteers that aims to be swift, secure, and small. We are using Kohana 3.3 You can view a demo at http://demo.modulargaming.com If you have any questions, bugs or feature requests feel free to post them on the issue tracker at GitHub. https://www.github.com/modulargaming/modulargaming Licensed under a BSD license. Modular Gaming can be used legally for any open source, commercial, or personal project.

Collection of Open Source based tools and API that facilitate rapid application development for Games and Virtual Reality based applications.

Event-driven concurrent framework for Python. Pulsar's goal is to provide an easy way to build scalable network programs. In the Hello world! webserver example above, many client connections can be handled concurrently. Pulsar tells the operating system (through epoll or select) that it should be notified when a new connection is made, and then it goes to sleep. Pulsar uses the asyncio module from the standard python library and it can be configured to run in multi-processing mode. The http client maintains connections alive (by default 15 seconds) and therefore any requests that you make within a session will automatically reuse the appropriate connection. All connections are released once the session exits the asynchronous with block. Pulsar design allows for a host of different asynchronous applications to be implemented in an elegant and efficient way.
