List of free libraries

Joster Manoster · 2011-06-09T18:23:41

This list is really good and as I march onwards checking out different libraries I shall be sure to us this. One thing, I'd like to point out, your links to hxRender are broken and I actually can't find any other downloads for it on the internet. Does anyone know where I could find it and/or find another library that is SDL compatible and can rotate images in real time at a reasonable speed? I'm not expecting to actually rotate images in real time since most of the things I plan on rotating probably have few enough frames so that they can simply be cached, but it would be nice to have this capability just in case.

What about wxWidgets? Very useful for normal windows GUI. Also, some handy general purpose classes for archive reading and writing etc.

I would add Qt to this list. It's a great cross-platform GUI library, with a ton of other useful stuff if you choose to use it (networking, XML, container classes etc.). There is both a free and commercial license.

Jolt3D!

Site: http://jolt-3d.sourceforge.net/
Forum: http://jolt3d.21.forumer.com/

Jolt3D! is a very easy to use 3D game engine (C/C++). I feel it's a great engine but it needs more users (it hasn't gotten enough publicity).

Heres a site with reviews:

Elf2D

http://code.google.com/p/elf2d/

Open-source framework for 2D games with simplicity in mind - aimed at beginners!

It doesn't try to provide support for hundreds of file formats or wrap high level functionality for you, instead it gives you a very easy API for the most common functionality (video, audio, input, even networking).

Currently work in progress, but stable enough to use in small games.

Elf2d only works on Windows. Be sure to note that in the chart.
