Open Source C Libraries for Linux

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.

2licht's aim is to provide a collection of wrappers for the popular Irrlicht Engine (http://irrlicht.sf.net/). It is still in development; the first wrappers to be released will be the C and Object Pascal interface; followed by a .NET library.

FXPLib is a game creation library that uses SDL, OpenGL, ODE and more, to provide an easy interface to program games in 2D. It manages lights and gravitation between animated objects. It provides a configuration interface for players with a simple scripting language called FXPQuest.

Sourceforge is no longer being updated! This project has merged into another that can be found here: https://github.com/nicrohobak/Toolbox ------------------------------------------------------------ A simple telnet server originally developed as a foundation to a MUD server project called HexMUD. These project should be maintained alongside each other, but this particular project should be a very generic telnet/SSH server and nothing more. The game logic belongs in the HexMUD project.

Realistically and Acronymically Named Generalized Engine. Sometimes shortened to RANGE or RANGEngine. This is primarily a 2D computer game engine that provides all major functions required. See http://p.sf.net/rangengine/wiki

WFIRE is a low-level game engine which provides a portable library allowing for writing video games for multiple classic targets. Originally written for a game called the Crypts of Eldor, WFIRE aims to provide compatibility with a number of constrained environments, such as DOS and the Amiga. It also aims for "new-retro" computers such as the Commander X16 and the Neon816. Of course, modern operating environments such as Windows NT and GNU/Linux are also planned. WFIRE is meant to reduce the effort of writing your own game engine by providing a common framework for functions such as rendering, sound output, and display management.

A set of utilities for running table top RPG games. Includes a set of command line userspace utilities, as well as libraries that can be used in other projects.

Ray3d is a multi-platform 3d game engine with an entire FPS game for it's techdemo. It's based on Irrlicht and other open source libraries, and written in C/C++. It is in pre-alpha and under HEAVY development.
