Projects

Simple DirectMedia Layer

A cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. SDL supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code ... [More] contains unofficial support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, and Tcl.

Pygame

Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing games. It is written on top of the excellent SDL library. This allows you to create fully featured games and multimedia programs in the python language. Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system.

LWJGL

The Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL) is a solution aimed directly at professional and amateur Java programmers alike to enable commercial quality games to be written in Java. LWJGL provides developers access to high performance crossplatform libraries such as OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) and ... [More] OpenAL (Open Audio Library) allowing for state of the art 3D games and 3D sound. Additionally LWJGL provides access to controllers such as Gamepads, Steering wheel and Joysticks. All in a simple and straight forward API. [Less]

Irrlicht Engine

The Irrlicht Engine is a high performance real-time 3D engine written and usable in C++, and also available for .NET languages. It is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL, and its own software renderers.

OpenTK

The Open Toolkit (OpenTK) is a free, fast, cross-platform C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenAL and OpenCL. The bindings are strongly-typed and contain inline documentation for improved security and coding speed. Additional utilities integrate the bindings with .Net, making OpenTK especially ... [More] suited to Rapid Application Development. OpenTK can be used alone or integrated into GUI toolkits, like Windows.Forms and GTK#. It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X without recompilation, is easy to deploy and is compatible with all .Net languages: C#, VB.Net, C++/CLI, F#, IronPython, Boo, ... [Less]

JInput

The JInput Project hosts an implementation of an API for game controller discovery and polled input.

Xith3D

The Xith3d project consists of powerful middleware consisting of a scenegraph and an extensible renderer. The goal is to create a lean and performative scenegraph and renderer while at the same time allowing for extensions and enchancements to all stages of the rendering pipeline. You can think of ... [More] it as a 3D engine. It allows to create games, or any application requiring a 3D visualization. It's versatile, usable with JOGL or LWJGL, embeddable in AWT, Swing, SWT (Eclipse). It has support for physics engine (JOODE), and many development facilities. It's fast and easy-to-use. [Less]

Ardor3D

Ardor3D is a professionally oriented, Java based 3D graphics engine.

Java Game Networking

An Object-Oriented networking framework for Java primarily focused toward game development. The general concept is the utilization of Message objects that are essentially beans that are streamed over the network utilizing NIO.

LibNUI

libNUI is a hardware accelerated GUI framework that makes it possible to build rich multi-platform applications based on 3D rendered dynamic layouts. Interfaces are built as a composition of widgets and behaviors, and the framework handles positioning, resizing, anchoring, and texture stretching. ... [More] Objects are connected with synchronous events and delegates for mono-threaded communication, or asynchronous notifications and message queues are used for multi-threaded applications. It also supports strings (including Unicode), paths, files, data streams, fonts, threads, critical sections, audio buffer rendering, and more. [Less]
