Crazy Eddie's GUI System

A free library providing windowing and widgets for graphics APIs / engines where such functionality is not natively available, or severely lacking. The library is object orientated, written in C++, and targeted at games developers who should be spending their time creating great games, not building GUI sub-systems!

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.

Qt 5

Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt, you can write applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code.

jogl

The JOGL project hosts the development version of the Java™ Binding for the OpenGL® API, and is designed to provide hardware-supported 3D graphics to applications written in Java. JOGL provides full access to the APIs in the OpenGL 1.3 - 3.0, 3.1 - 3.3, ≥ 4.0, ES 1.x and ES 2.x ... [More] specification as well as nearly all vendor extensions. OpenGL Evolution & JOGL (UML) gives you a brief overview of OpenGL, it's profiles and how we map them to JOGL. JOGL integrates with the AWT and Swing widget sets, as well with custom windowing toolkits using the NativeWindow API. JOGL also provides it's own native windowing toolkit, NEWT. [Less]

Thousand Parsec

claimed by KDE

Thousand Parsec is not only a game by itself, it is also a framework for creating a similar group of turn-based space empire building games, which are often called 4X games, from the main phases found in them: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. Some examples of games which Thousand Parsec ... [More] draws ideas from are Stars!, VGA Planets, Reach for the Stars, Master of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. The idea is that a protocol is specified which defines how game servers and game clients communicate with each other. Protocol also specifies which objects are available for custom games or rulesets, which can have different rules of gamplay. Any client should be able to connect with any server and player should be able to play any game with it. [Less]

Visual Component Framework

The Visual Component Framework is a cross platform C++ application framework that offers a modern, clean architecture. It is divided into three major libraries. The FoundationKit provides services such as file access, streams, threads, synchronization primitives, and advanced RTTI features. The ... [More] GraphicsKit includes classes for working with both image and vector graphics, and has built in support for the Anti-Grain Graphics library. The ApplicationKit provides GUI controls, use of the Model-View-Control pattern, property and component editors, undo/redo support, drag-and-drop, clipboard services, application resources, and UI metrics and policy managers. Additional "Kits" adding advanced functionality include an HTML kit, Internet kit, JavaScript kit, Network kit, OpenGL kit, and RegEx kit [Less]

ClanLib

ClanLib is a cross platform C++ toolkit library. Essentially the library offers a series of different functionality under a streamlined API. Its primary focus is on games, although not limited for that usage only.

Open-source REBOL Can be Achieved

ORCA is an interpreter for a REBOL-like language. The interpreter is a C library so that C/C++ applications can use ORCA as an embedded scripting system. ORCA stands for Open-source Rebol Can be Achieved.

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]

v8rocket

v8rocket is a library for integrating v8 with libRocket, and to expose the XHTML DOM to Javascript. libRocket (http://librocket.com) is a renderer agnostic XHTML/CSS renderer, useful for creating UIs for games and the like. Hopefully makes assembling a game UI a breeze. v8 ... [More] (http://code.google.com/p/v8/) is a fast Javascript engine, used by the Chromium browser to execute Javascript. Advantages of v8rocket: Renderer agnostic, input agnostic, allows a fully dynamic layout, that can grow/shrink etc. as needed, uses existing layout technology - standardized XHTML/CSS to describe layout, allows easy "theming" via CSS, or even changing the XHTML, without having to recompile, allows delegation of UI work to developers skilled in web programming.
