Carrots Engine is a full-featured, no-code, open-source game development engine. Build 2D, 3D, and multiplayer games for mobile (iOS, Android), desktop, and the web. Carrots Engine is designed to be fast and intuitive with an event-based system, modular behaviors, and tools that help you ship.
- 2D, 3D, and multiplayer game creation with a no-code event system and modular behaviors.
- Scene3D extension with base 3D behavior, 3D model objects, and level-of-detail (LOD) management.
- Advanced 3D lighting pipeline with professional shader upgrades and adaptive lighting.
- Spot, Point, and Directional lights with improved shadow stability and performance.
- Shadow system controls for cascaded shadows and high-resolution shadow maps (up to 4096).
- Post-processing stack: Screen Space Reflections (SSR), Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), Depth of Field, Bloom, Volumetric Fog, Vignette, and Tone Mapping.
- Post-processing quality presets and adaptive 3D quality targeting stable 60 FPS.
- PBR material behavior with AO/albedo support and SSR roughness integration.
- Runtime lightmap system integrated with ambient lighting and tone mapping.
- 3D physics with Jolt Physics, including rigid bodies, joints, and ragdoll support.
- Lighting effects and behaviors including RimLight and enhanced FlickeringLight controls.
- Editor workflow improvements for 3D transforms and snapping.

Carrots Engine is composed of an editor, a game engine, and a set of extensions.
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
Core |
Core classes describing the game structure and tools used by the editor and the engine. |
GDJS |
The game engine, written in TypeScript, using PixiJS and Three.js for 2D and 3D rendering (WebGL). |
GDevelop.js |
Bindings of Core, GDJS, and Extensions to JavaScript (with WebAssembly), used by the IDE. |
newIDE |
The game editor, written in JavaScript with React, Electron, PixiJS, and Three.js. |
Extensions |
Built-in extensions providing objects, behaviors, and new features, including physics engines running in WebAssembly (Box2D or Jolt for 3D). |
