Are these all free or open source? Including the license for each tool would be useful.
- ellisonleao 12y ago
  Some of they are free and some not. I will think a way of adding their licenses.

    licensing is a must, especially for the game engines themselves

Great list! If you're interested in rapid-prototyping a platform game, check out a game that I'm working on called Beta. There's a free trial download at www.betathegame.com

Very nice collection! I was recently starting to do a similar collection: https://github.com/albertz/Coding-Game-Intro https://github.com/albertz/Coding-Game-Intro Although mine is more headed to become some game coding tutorials, probably C++ with SDL, Lua, or so. But that hasn't even started yet.
