Looking for a game engine HELP!

Where is a easy-to-use game engine without programming language to learn? Open Source

[Julius]

Making a game necessarily involves some level of programming. Not sure what gave you the impression you could do it without?

https://godotengine.org/ is a good place to start.

1.) Try this: It's open source and claims to be usable without programming:
https://gdevelop-app.com/

2.) The following claim more or less that you can create games without programming:
https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/
https://www.yoyogames.com/en/gamemaker

But I fear that you must program a little bit. And they are not open source. But maybe the games you create with them can be put under a open source license?

3.) And there is the open source engine: Godot
https://godotengine.org/
I fear you can't avoid programming totally with it.

4.) See this list perhaps:

Do you know a 3D game engine like gdevelop but not 2D?

Do you know a 3D game engine like gdevelop but not 2D?

Perhaps this (but I fear you still need to do some coding) :
https://unity.com/ (proprietary)

or:
https://godotengine.org/ (open source!)

This very much depends on one question: what kind of game would you like to make? If you really want to avoid any kind of programming, you would most likely have to find an engine that is preprogrammed specifically for the kind of game you want, and you may very likely find nothing like that in the FOSS world. I know how hard this is because my brother also wanted to make games without programming and he wasn't able to find anything good even in the proprietary world. And of course, without at least some programming you won't ever be able to create something truly nice, it's like wanting to write a book without knowing how to write.

A reasonable mid way can be creating a map/level in an existing game (e.g. Xonotic, OpenMW, ...). But to make the map really resemble a different game you'll need to write some simple scripts anyway.

I'd recommend learning a basic programming with Pygame, it's a very simple 2D engine for which you need some simple knowledge of Python, but that's something you can perhaps learn in a few hours from their tutorials. It's an engine specifically made to be friendly to casual game makers.

If you want something even simpler, there is Snap. It's something an elementary school student can handle, it has very simple visual programming, it runs in the browser and you can definitely make something like Flappy Bird in it.

EDIT:

Oh I see you want a 3D game, well that will be very difficult then. Best advice there I think is Godot then, but expect this to not be easy. There also used to be a 3D game engine in Blender (it's no longer there but you can still get the old version).

GDevelop has now 3D mode!
