Useful GitHub Repos for Unity

There are some really useful open source Unity plugins lying around GitHub. Since many are not on the asset store and therefore a bit harder to discover, I thought it would be nice to post some of them here.

What are some awesome Unity GitHub repositories that you know of?

 

Here are some of mine...

Unity Sprites and Bones
https://github.com/Banbury/UnitySpritesAndBones

InControl
https://github.com/pbhogan/InControl

TouchKit

These are good finds, thanks for sharing

Google Play Game services

This looks really neat! I'm wondering if this could be a viable alternative to playerprefs?

 

LibNoise.Unity
https://github.com/ricardojmendez/LibNoise.Unity

This is a useful noise library ported to Unity.

 

https://github.com/anchan828/property-drawer-collection A bunch of property drawers, it's made by one of the Japanese Unity devs, so it's in Japanese, but there's screenshots!

https://github.com/tenpn/ChestOfPropertyDrawers Also some property drawers

https://github.com/nickgravelyn/UnityToolbag Lots of small useful editor extensions

https://github.com/strangeioc/strangeioc Inversion of control, MVC framework, and event handling system for Unity. Design is inspired from RobotLegs.

https://github.com/pixelnest/BulletMLLib BulletML ported to C# and Unity-compatible.

https://github.com/gfoot/kopiluainterface Lua ported into C#, letting you run Lua inside Unity, with some convenience functions to transfer data easily from Lua to C# and vice-versa. Discussion thread is actually here. It can even run on web builds since it's all coded in C#!

 

TouchScript is a multitouch library for Unity. Inspired by iOS, TouchScript makes handling complex gesture interactions on any touch surface much easier.

Full Serializer is an extremely easy to use serializer for Unity that just works. It is as simple as possible but no simpler. It currently ships with a robust JSON parser and printer.

Full Serializer has been designed to support all Unity export platforms, including tricky ones such as the WebPlayer and iOS. Additionally, it has been designed to support full stripping mode on iOS (Full Serializer does not use exceptions).

Best of all, Full Serializer is completely free to use and available under the MIT license!

LeanTween is an efficient tweening engine for the Unity 3d engine

Here's what we have so far, a few of our projects are in the works to be cleaned up and open-sourced, like our common libraries and our automated Asset Store build pipeline:

nanosvg-csharp - a fairly direct port of nanosvg for C#, Unity-compatible:
https://github.com/thinksquirrel/nanosvg-csharp

ASInstaller (for Asset Store developers) - an installer for Asset Store projects, for complex code assets that need to support multiple Unity versions and can't use conditional compilation (for example, when using a DLL). We use it for most of our products:
https://github.com/thinksquirrel/ASInstaller

* Tracking of scores and progress.
* Unlockable items.

It is also available for free on the asset store.

I have created a collection of Unity repositories sorted by topic: https://unity3d-open-source.zeef.com/taras.leskiv. Please suggest links that are missing there (you can do it in place).

 

Here someone created a search engine for Unity open source projects.
