## What it is
A curated awesome-list of roughly 2000 C++ (and some Rust) libraries, engines, tools, and learning resources for game development. It is a Markdown catalog organized into categories like engines, math, graphics, physics, networking, AI, and scripting.

## Use cases
- find a C++ game engine for my project
- discover physics or graphics libraries for game dev
- learn game programming as a C++ developer
- find networking libraries for multiplayer games
- look up scripting options to embed in a C++ game
- find tools for C++ game development

## When to choose
- you want a broad, community-curated directory of C++ game development resources
- you are exploring which engines, libraries, or tools exist before starting a game project
- you want learning paths and references for game programming in C++

## When to avoid
- you need runnable software rather than a list of links
- you need a maintained, license-backed tool rather than a catalog
- you work primarily in languages other than C++/Rust

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, developer-tools
- domain: awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, curated-list, cpp, game-development, resource-directory
