    DjDoom

    Reference implementation for the Doom game engine.

    DjDoom is a reference implementation for the original Doom game engine. The purpose of this project is to build a playable Doom engine from the original Linux source code with minimal changes necessary to build and run in a Windows environment. This was created as a learning tool for me and I'm publishing this so it can be a learning tool for others. It is intended that this be a base for others to build and expand on.

    G2

    G2

    A generic 2D engine for any kind of game

    This game engine uses the power of C++, OpenGL, and OpenAL to provide highly-portable, object-oriented code for programming a video game. Rather than tailoring to a specific type of game, the engine focuses on the fundamental components. It covers audio, graphics, controls, and data flow. With G2, developers have everything they need to create a 2D game without the need of expensive SDKs.

    Generic 3D Game Engine

    A basic 3D environment with a first-person POV

    Despite being more graphically advanced than my 2D game engine, it isn't as well developed. Its original name was "3DWorld" because it simulated a 3-dimensional environment -and that's pretty much all it does. You can move around, pick up a cube, and jump using typical FPS controls. I started to implement the ability to shoot but it's still incomplete. This project has been put on hold in order to focus on my 2D game engine.

    Model T Dice Box

    Model T Dice Box

    RPG dice roll simulator for vintage Tandy TRS-80 100/102/200 laptops

    Simulate dice roll mechanics from the comfort of your vintage Tandy TRS-80 Model 100/102/200 ("Model T") laptop! Roll any die from d1 to d4200 (why not, you know you want to!) or use one of the built-in systems. Designed to pass around your table, the Model T Dice Box brings a retro new dimension to any game night! Dice Box supports a variety of popular RPG systems and dice mechanics including standard dice expressions (A+*dX+-*B+-L:H), exploding dice pools, full Continuum support (yes, that really is the best time-travel RPG you might never play), and one-off rolls like Traveller's d66. See the feature list for more RPG systems available! This project includes the compact source code (.DO), the tokenized BASIC (.BA), and a REX image (.BY). Dice Box needs around 1KB memory while running and the tokenized BASIC file is ~12KB. And check out the video! Fun fun fun!

    QBism Game Engine
    qbism Super8 is an open source 3D game engine with advanced yet intentionally retro 8-bit graphics for a crunchy pixelated look.

Features ———— Real 8-bit software graphics Plays most modern epic Quake maps that require enhanced engine limits and extensions. Colored static and dynamic lights. Scorch marks (stainmaps), fog, transparent water and particles, and skyboxes. Unique indexed colored lighting that doesn’t slow down the engine. Plays nice with weird laptop screen resolutions and Windows XP/ Vista/ 7. Record demos directly to xvid, mp4, divx, or other avi-compatible formats. Start and stop demo recording any time during a game. Start and stop video recording any time during a game or demo. Fisheye mode! [Optimize me!] Mothballed project: QBismFusion = enhanced QFus

    TurboSphere

    TurboSphere

    TurboSphere is an easy to learn and powerful JS based game engine.

    TurboSphere is an intuitive and easy to learn game engine. It is generally modeled after the Sphere RPG engine for its API, although the API has been modernized. It uses JavaScript as its game logic language, and supports many common file types for resources. TurboSphere uses Google V8 for JavaScript execution and SDL for graphics, audio, input and most other game related functions. It includes a map engine intended for top-down, zelda like games. Other, script based map engines are possible, and several have been implemented for TurboSphere's predecessor, Sphere (like the Majestic Map Engine (http://spheredev.org/smforums/index.php?topic=4496.0)). TurboSphere is largely compatible with the Sphere RPG engine, the main API change is the replacement of object creating functions with proper JavaScript constructors. This means that there are several completed games already made that work with TurboSphere, requiring only a small set of compatibility scripts to function in TurboSphere.

    Wheefun Ingeniously Retro Engine

    Low-Level Game Engine for Retro Platforms

    WFIRE is a low-level game engine which provides a portable library allowing for writing video games for multiple classic targets. Originally written for a game called the Crypts of Eldor, WFIRE aims to provide compatibility with a number of constrained environments, such as DOS and the Amiga. It also aims for "new-retro" computers such as the Commander X16 and the Neon816. Of course, modern operating environments such as Windows NT and GNU/Linux are also planned. WFIRE is meant to reduce the effort of writing your own game engine by providing a common framework for functions such as rendering, sound output, and display management.

    ZAPH

    Tools and Z80 engine for creating adventure games. (RUST)

    This is an exercise in some advance programming topics using a text adventure as the central result. This originally began as a project to recreate an old BASIC text adventure, on the ZX Spectrum, using Z80. After developing a very simple byte code VM to handle the game interactions, I realised that there was an opportunity to use some more advance techniques, which in turn can lead to some PC based tools.
