what open source game engine (not just 3d rendering) can you recommend?
i don't really need high end features.
...but some features would be nice of course. like: it should be useable with a scripting language instead of c++, it should have built-in physics with newton or bullet (not ode! i don't like it. bad experiences. ),...
is there even something like that?
there seem to be lots of open source rendering engines but in the field of complete game engines the open source stuff seems to be a bit lacking. or am i wrong?
edit:
the blender game engine isn't that bad but i don't like the logic brick concept. i would prefer 100% python scripting. and it has some problems with publishing...
http://code.google.com/p/gamekit/
this looked promising a while back but i haven't followed it for a while. what is its status? did it make a lot of progress? last time i checked they seemed to have lots of problems with ogre and irrlicht and they started animkit or something to work around them.
what about panda 3d? does anyone have experience with it? (i don't like that it uses ode for physics.)
open source game engine?
Re: open source game engine?
i know unity and already took a look.
i meant open source and free (as in speech).
i don't expect something like unity as an open source project.
but is there a complete, useable, scriptable, production ready open source game engine that you can recommend?
(the blender game engine theoretically would have the potential to come close to unity. blender can be a very nice game editor. but a lot of work would have to be invested.)

I think panda3d also has some bullet wrapper. Haven't really tried it myself though.

I don't like Unity3D too much... besides i can do with Irrlicht things that in Unity you have to pay to get them (like godrays or shadowmapping )

Re: open source game engine?
blender has a built in game engine, you could check it out...

BUT beware! Blender's Game Engine is 'quite' slow.
