Programming Libraries and Engines

Below are links to various library functions, as well as programming frameworks (aka "engines") that you can use when building a game. After all, while inventing wheels is sometimes fun, more often than not it's more fun to focus on writing a game.

If there are specific functions or library elements that you'd like to see, put a request on the "discussion" page.
