Very nice compilation! Maybe this could be made a sticky(and moved to the project announcements forums?). Thanks for putting this together.

Agreed with the post above me.
I found several useful tools from it

Excellent idea, especially the clickable links.

I see my Reflective Water got into the list (credit also to DeusXL).

I'll be putting a compiled demo and source/project files up to my webspace soon so people can try this snippet out a bit easier.

I guess my Doom3 MD5 Mesh loader will have to be a contender for next years Year End list as I haven't finihsed it yet.

Nice list. And it's nice to see ones codes featured in it

Thanks for all the replies! Yes, I goofed at first. The links should have been clickable from the initial post. I didn't know that if you enclosed the URL inside a parenthese pair, it looses it's click-i-ness. :

On the honorable mentions, there were a ton of scene nodes. So, I didn't want to leave them out. But, yeah, there should be more honorable mentions in the other categories.

I was going to add some more categories like Top 5 game frameworks (think something like irrWizard here), Top 5 script wrappers (think something like irrLua), and more but I ran out of time. I was also going to split the utilities category into sub-tool list too.

So, when I get more time, I'll add them.

yeah me too, magic 2d has allot more stuff than any of the projects under special effects listed (i think it has over 100 examples).

Done! moved and stickified!

And I agree. Emil's Magic2d kicks major butt too!

@veegun: thanks for taking the time to organize all that info. Great job!

Aztica? I remember in this engine was nice reflective water in terrain demo. But Jaimi seems has been abandoned this project. Also is good that you made port from COM version of engine.

Thanks a lot. That's just like getting a meal cooked.

Hrm, most of the actual download links for the code snippets in question are bad (at least the ones ive tried), its to bad theres no central mirror for like scene nodes and code snippets
