I was wondering if anyone knew of a simple opengl game engine for linux where the source is available to read.

I basically want to read the source to get a better idea of how things are put together without worrying about the code being cross platform or having fancy particle effects or anything.

I've used Irrlicht and Ogre a little and I much prefer Irrlicht. It's much simpler and has many fewer dependencies.

Have a look at DevMaster, a website with a lot of information about game programming and a 3D Engines Database.

SDL supports OpenGL, is open source, and you can port your game to Windows if you want. I've used it to write a Tetris program. It supports C and C++.
