Hey,
i\'m tired of the outdated features of DarkDGK, so i\'m looking for other engines wich are using c++.

I know the Source Engine SDK is using c++, but the SDK is outdated too.
Unreal Engine 3 is using Unreal Script, is s**t. (Well, the new Engine SDK is using c++, but isn\'t released)
Unity3D - Lua / c#(?)
Leadwerks - Lua

So, what\'s left?

Ogre3D
Irrlicht

Both are fantastic.

Unity3D uses C#, Unity Script (based on Java) or Boo Script. You've got a choice. It is a fantastic toolset. Personally I love C#, if you've used classes in C++ it should be really easy to jump into C#, it doesn't work exactly like C++ when dealing with classes, but it's close enough.

Ogre and Irrlicht as said, which is free.


There's Native AppGameKit, it's not 3D yet, but the features will come, I'm not sure how well suited it will be to your needs.

To add:
NeoAxis (based off of Ogre)
Torque Game Engine (I have an old version of this, you get full access to the source code to make modifications in C++ where you deem fit I do not know if this is the case with newer version. It also uses a C-style script.)

I use Ogre3D, which is slowly adding a DirectX11 rendersystem and is going through a performance re-evaluation and refactoring period.

Are you looking for game engines with a C++ interface, or for a group of libraries that you can bind together in C++ to make your own engine?

I'd advise using UDK since a) it's a very powerful engine and well-supported, b) it has good licensing options and c) the scripting language is wonderful, many steps ahead of C++ as far as game-scripting is concerned.

I'd advice against UDK since you have to restart the whole thing for it to rebuild the scripts after you make the smallest change.
Or at least that's how it seemed to work when I messed around with it last year.

If you're going for 2D things check out SMFL, that's a great library.
