Top 23 C# Game Engine Projects

  • OpenRA

    Open Source real-time strategy game engine for early Westwood games such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert written in C# using SDL and OpenGL. Runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X.

    • Project mention: The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24

    Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

  • MonoGame

    One framework for creating powerful cross-platform games.

    • Project mention: The MonoGame Foundation launch | /r/monogame | 2023-11-15

    To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.

    • Project mention: Unity Software plans to reduce its workforce by 25%, eliminating ~1,800 jobs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-10

    In general it took me less time to rewrite the code-base then implementing some of the workarounds for missing features in Unity (e.g. HTTP2) in the first place.
