Game Engines list. List of game engines. Many tools called game engines are available for game designers to code a game quickly and easily without building from the ground up. Free/libre and open source software[edit] Note: The following list is not exhaustive. It mixes game engines with rendering engines as well as API bindings without any distinctions. Proprietary[edit] Commercial[edit] Freeware[edit] These engines are available without monetary charge, but without the source code being available under an open-source license.

History Edit At the QuakeCon 2007, John Carmack, the lead graphics engine developer at id, said to LinuxGames: "I mean, I won't commit to a date, but the Doom 3 stuff will be open source".
And like its predecessors, John Carmack has said that id Tech 4 will be released as open source.[2] Hardware Edit The original requirement of id Tech 4 was that it needed a high-end graphics processing unit (GPU) with fully programmable vertex and pixel shaders, such as the Nvidia GeForce 3 or ATI Radeon 8500, with at least 64 MB of VRAM. By E3 2002, the recommended GPU was "100% DirectX 9.0b compatible", such as the Radeon 9700 with 128 MB of VRAM. Id Tech 4 resulted in the obsolescence of DirectX 7 graphics chips such as the widespread GeForce 2 and Radeon 7200, as well as older chipsets such as RIVA TNT2 and Rage 128, and software rendering (with an integrated Intel GMA).
