   In the wake of the Godot situation, I am here to recommend alternatives. Not all of these are engines. Some of them are frameworks, but all of these are FOSS and general purpose.

   2D:
   * SDL - https://www.libsdl.org/
   * SFML - http://www.sfml-dev.org/
   * Allegro - http://liballeg.org/
   * Gosu - https://www.libgosu.org/
   * Love2D - https://love2d.org/
   * Pygame- https://www.pygame.org/
   * FreeBASIC - https://www.freebasic.net/
   * raylib - http://www.raylib.com/

   3D:
   * Irrlicht Engine - https://irrlicht.sourceforge.io/
   * OGRE - https://www.ogre3d.org/
   * ioquake3 - https://ioquake3.org/
   * Panda3D - https://www.panda3d.org/

   Both:
   * MonoGame - https://monogame.net
   * GDevelop - https://gdevelop.io/

     @xianc78 there is no "Godot situation" the person who runs their official Twitter account is just stupid. There's nothing wrong with the engine.

     @xianc78 like they blocked a contributor? okay that sucks then. i still don't think there is anything wrong with using the engine but yeah there's zero reason to actually contribute if they're just blocking people.

     @xianc78 unless said people are actually like flaming or something and haven't actually contributed before, because that could totally be the case too. i wouldn't want people shitting up my github repo either.

     idk what's going on 100% though, i just think people are retarded and as long as the engine is free and open source using it isn't an issue.
