Horde3D is an open-source cross-platform graphics engine.[2] Its purpose and design is similar to that of OGRE with the primary goal being lightweight for next-generation video games.[3] The engine is also particularly suited for large crowd simulations.[4] The engine is also compatible with GLFW.[5] The major part of the graphics engine was originally written for the indie group pyropix and development is now continued at the University of Augsburg.
The engine is primarily designed for an object-oriented approach to scene rendering.[6][7] It also features a Scene Editor that can design shaders with support for plugins including physics.[8] The engine was originally built on top of OpenGL 2.0[9] A plugin to use the engine with the Bullet Physics API also exists.[10]
The engine contains a number of bindings to various languages including C#, Java, Python, Lua, Squirrel, GML (GMHorde3D)[11]
The following commercial games use the Horde3D engine:[2]
| Title | Year | Developer |
|---|---|---|
| Offroad Legends | 2012 | DogByte Games |
| Redline Rush | 2013 | DogByte Games |
| Timelines: Assault on America | 2013 | 4Flash Interactive |
| Offroad Legends 2 | 2014 | DogByte Games |
| Off The Road | 2018 | DogByte Games |
Since Linux support is still experimental, feedback will be highly appreciated.

Unreal Engine (UE) is a 3D computer graphics game engine developed by Epic Games, initially made for use in the 1998 first-person shooter video game Unreal. Originally developed for PC first-person shooters, it has since been used in a variety of genres of games and has been adopted by other industries, most notably the film and television industry. Unreal Engine is written in C++ and features a high degree of portability, supporting a wide range of desktop, mobile, console, and virtual reality platforms. The latest generation, Unreal Engine 5, was launched in April 2022. Its source code is available on GitHub, and commercial use is granted based on a royalty model, with Epic charging 5% of revenues over US$1 million, which is waived for games published exclusively on the Epic Games Store. Epic has incorporated features in the engine from acquired companies such as Quixel.
The Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL) is an open-source software library that provides bindings to a variety of C libraries for video game developers to Java. It exposes cross-platform libraries commonly used in developing video games and multimedia titles, such as Vulkan, OpenGL, GLFW, OpenAL and OpenCL. The primary goal of the project is to provide a way for Java developers to get access to resources that are otherwise unavailable or poorly implemented on the existing Java platform. The main philosophy is to expose underlying technology as a thin wrapper, thus creating an API close to the original. LWJGL is the basis of certain high-level Java game engines and libraries, such as libGDX and jMonkeyEngine.
The C4 Engine is a proprietary computer game engine developed by Terathon Software that is used to create 3D games and other types of interactive virtual simulations for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Windows (XP and later), Mac OS X (versions 10.9 and later), Linux, and iOS.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
