Gaming platforms

finding a library / service that focus around tracking the progress and or the gamer, generates scoreboards, and keep a history of the achievements is not easy. Must game engines focus around 2D and 3D rendering, a physics engine or collision detection, lighting, audio, special effects, animations, networking, memory management, scene graph, and interactive gameplay logic. The information that you found on the documentation of these engines focuses around the features listed, and although the tracking of points and the setting of games rules may be included, it is difficult to find details on their web sites.

We managed to compile the following list of candidates to evaluate further in February 2023.
