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
... [More]
eXterminate. Some examples of games which Thousand Parsec 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]
The JOGL project hosts the development version of the Java™ Binding for the OpenGL® API (JSR-231), and is designed to provide hardware-supported 3D graphics to applications written in Java. JOGL is not the official reference implementation of the

JSR, but an evolving workspace; snapshots are taken from this workspace which become the official reference implementations of the JSR. JOGL is part of a suite of open-source technologies initiated by the Game Technology Group at Sun Microsystems. [Less]
jSeamless is a UI abstraction layer for Java to allow developers to write code for any platform and any environment (Web, Desktop, Mobile, etc.) without having to know ahead of time the deployment platform or environment will.
Python-Ogre is a high-performance, full-featured Python interface to the Ogre3D graphics library.
Python-Ogre currently supports all the functionality of Ogre 1.4, as well as wrappers for over 30 individual libraries:
* Bullet, NxOgre (PhysX)
... [More]
, ODE, and Newton physics
* 4 GUIs, I/O, sound, and a lot more!
This project is the successor of the original PyOgre project, created by Lakin Wecker in mid-2006. Much development is done on the Windows platform, however today Python-Ogre runs equally well on Linux and Mac OS X. Windows binaries are available, and a Linux package is in the works.
If you wish to create a gaming or graphics application in Python, there isn't any else you need apart from Python-Ogre. If there is a library you'd like to have wrapped, let us know! [Less]
MD5 Reader 2 is an extension for jMonkey Engine to load 3D animated models from MD5 format (Doom 3 format).
Current active contributors are: ender_saka (Marco Frisan, the project founder), Duodecimo Fernandes and gathers (Öyvind Johannessen).
... [More]
The project was based on the original code from ChaosDeathFish (Gareth Jenkins-Jones).
While the original code is still maintained, we are moving to a rewrite. [Less]
The goal of this project is to develop a generic and powerful 3D simulation framework mainly but not exclusively targeted at game development. Important aspects are efficency and simplicity of use.

This project serves as a base for Java Graphics Engines. It contains abstract loaders (models, textures, etc.), OpenGL-wrapper, etc. to help you build your own engine and to maintain compatibility between your engine and others, which are using JAGaToo.
Ogre is a very extensible engine, and we have a very active community who have produced many add-on projects which are not officially supported by the core team, but have proven extremely helpful to users and have provoked much discussion and
... [More]
collaboration in the forums. Many of these are hosted in the Ogre CVS repository, under the 'ogreaddons' module, to promote collaboration and to make them easy to locate. Many people have asked for a quick reference to the add-ons and how to get hold of them, so here it is! [Less]

QuakeForge is a 3D graphics game engine based on id Software's legendary Quake and QuakeWorld game engine. Our purpose? To improve the state of the game by improving the engine and making it accessable to the largest number of players we can.
... [More]
Arguably the single most important issue on the minds of players today is the rampant cheating which is currently happening on many of the larger servers. It's a serious problem and it really makes a good game hard to find. We're working hard to fix these problems at the engine level. [Less]
