Adaptation of the list of game engines. Only opensource & libre game engines are kept.

I'm searching for a:

  • 3d,
  • cross-platform ( linux, windows, osx, ios, android ),
  • C++,
  • HMD enabled and
  • PhysX enabled

Ogre

After a serious headache, I'm testing 3D.

First released in 1999, I skipped it at first because it seems under maintained and out-dated. Stupid a priori. Even the wiki page reinforce the idea. When you take the time to check the news on the website and the repository on bitbucket, you realise it's actively maintained!

It has all the features I'm searching for:

  • PhysX, via an addon: NxOgre.
  • Oculus Rift & OSVR support.
  • Cross-platform: Windows (all major versions), Linux, Mac OSX, Android, iOS, Windows Phone & WinRT support - even if I know that several features will be incomplete or impossible to run on some platforms, it will be possible to reuse the majority of work.
  • And, last but not least, Ogre doesn't have a scripting language. Everything must be done in C++, so no transcoding of instructions or memory.
