Minetest - Minecraft-inspired voxel game engine. C++
Project mention: Using Jolt with flecs & Dear ImGui: Game Physics Introspection | dev.to | 2024-04-17EnTT is a popular alternative to flecs for C++, which has different performance/memory characteristics.
Project mention: Amazon Lays Off 180 Employees in Its Games Division | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-13
Gameplay: Another promising MIT licensed engine for both 2D and 3D. Doesn't seem like there is much in the way of learning material though.
Panda3D (MIT/C++) https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d
Project mention: Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-19Seems the support would be a realistic feature, though, because it's based on https://springrts.com/ that does support MacOS X.
