In the past 20 years I developed various 3D game engines to explore different aspects of game developement. It started with console based text RPGs in TurboC around 1994 when DOS was still the operating system of choice. Later some DirectDraw game experiments and then the first Direct3D game in 2001. All these non-finished projects had the goal to learn:

Physics and collision, e.g. Bullet Physics Engine
Scripting, e.g. Squirrel or Lua
Gfx, e.g. GLSL shaders
Shaodws, e.g. stencil buffer for large distances in space games
Resources, e.g. PhysFS
Audio, e.g. portaudio, OpenAL
Module system, e.g. DLL or shared modules
Networking, e.g. enet
Font rendering, e.g. FTGL, freetype
Unit and Scene seriaisation, e.g. yaml
AI, e.g. behaviour trees
Multithreading, sync game, graphics and phyiscs engine or task based system, e.g. zThreads, OpenMP
Complete 3D and or game engines, e.g. Horde3D, Ogre3D, Unity

Over the time I lost the code and data of many of these interesting projects, so this list is quite short and incomplete.

This game is about transmitting a virus to other people. You are patient zero and move through VR and need to infect other people by sneezing on them or touching them. The goal is to infect all people in the level, but you have to be quick since they heal after some time. Developed for VR headsets using Unity

Simple jump and run showing how the same decision in live (actions of the user) lead to very different results under different conditions. Serious game, developed using Unity.

Code

Side project to learn procedual generation of meshes (marching cubes) and textures, texture mapping and other techniques.

A work in progress single player game project. Near future space game with plausible physics and intense game play. Based on open source software (Ogre3D, Bullet Physics, etc.)
