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

Also: http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/1rs1s1/what_are_som... Which I find to be more streamlined and focused on game development.

Heh _pmf_ , not everybody uses reddit.

I assume that's why he said "Also" rather than "Instead".

Very nice collection!

I was recently starting to do a similar collection: 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.

Very nice albert! There is some links on this list that isn't on the magictools one. Would you mind to contribute with us?

Are these all free or open source? Including the license for each tool would be useful.

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
