Hard Coded Pinball started from a VPForum discussion about how to make the best playing video pinball possible.

An extensible, real-time, 3D visualization, simulation, and game-design authoring tool. Integrates Java 3D and Eclipse RCP. Drag-&-Drop editing of a complex 3D scene graph. Fast world-building. Web delivery via Webstart or Applets.

Joctree is a real-time graphics engine for Java. The engine supports scene-optimization via octrees, and will support basic model and animation formats (Wavefront/Obj and Quake/MD2).

Fast-paced multiplayer blade fighting 3D game allowing you to express your feelings on your opponents, using martial arts techniques and rapid gestures.

Kobayashi Maru is a free, expandable, portable, multi-theme Open Source 3D-Space Fight Simulator in the traditions of games like Elite, X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter or Wing Commander. KobayashiMaru is portable to any platform featuring OpenGL.

Cross platform OpenGL simulation/game engine based on the SDL libraries. Supports full HDR with deferred shading using multiple render targets under OpenGL. Post-processing effects include depth of field, edge map anti-aliasing, auto-exposure and shadows

Cloud rendering engine based on OpenGL and SDL. Clouds are generated with a probabilistic algorithm.
