Open Source Libraries

raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework. Do you want to see all functions available in raylib? Check raylib cheatsheet. raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no auto-debugging, just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way. raylib has received several recognitions in the last years and many people have written about the library. Here there are the main awards received from Google and Epic Games. raylib supports multiple target platforms, it has been tested in the following platforms but, technically, any platform that supports C language and OpenGL graphics is valid for raylib or can be very easily ported to. raylib can be combined with several extra libraries for additional functionality, some of those libraries are already used internally while others are provided for user integration, most of these libraries are single-file header-only with no external dependencies.

Orx is a portable, lightweight, plugin-based, data-driven and extremely easy to use 2D-oriented game engine. As orx is data driven, it allows users to create games with a small number of lines of code and reduces drastically the development time.

Create a sun, spin some asteroids around it, and watch them collide and form planets. An N-Point Gravity Simulator is a realistic simulation in which all points attract each other: even the smallest asteroid has its own gravitational field that can affect even a large sun far away from it. Can be reused as a library for making games. If used as library, license is GNU LGPLv3, otherwise it's GNU GPLv3.

OpenSkyNet - Moving towards a comprehensive artificial intelligence solution for game developers under the LGPL. The goals are to implement action selection solvers, robust steering behaviors (including pathfinding algorithms), and machine learning.

Board2D.js is a JavaScript library that allows you to quickly develop 2D board games for the web. It is extremely easy to use and contains a very rich API. Download the ZIP, and extract it to a folder. Inside it, the "lib" folder contains the javascript library file. You can include it in your projects as-is. For an example of how to use the library, you can find two mini samples of tic-tac-toe and chess in the examples directory. There is no API manual currently, but if you use an editor like Brackets, it will show you the list of functions. Just do not call the functions which start with "__" as those are meant for internal use by the library itself. There is a readme file included in the ZIP which shall get you started.
