irrlicht

This caused the Irrlicht homepage and forum to work badly. Over the last days most things started working again – except the forum continues to be broken. Old posts can be read but everything else is currently not working.

If we're going to list graphics libraries then bgfx and irrlicht are probably worth a mention as well.

As for physics there's tons of options, but the list gets rather exhaustive when considering 2D and 3D but you have box2d, bullet, and many many more.
