title: What is a good Open Source game engine for a beginner?
body: <p>I want to develop a game and I am at a beginner level.</p>
  
  <p>When I searched for game engines on Google a long list was returned (e.g. Delta 3D, Panda 3D) </p>
  
  <p>Then I looked at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines" rel="nofollow noreferrer">wikipedia</a> and it also showed a very large list.</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure which engine to choose.</p>
  
  <p>Please suggest a good game engine and some good tutorial or a good ebook.</p>
  
  <p>I am experienced in C++, QT4, Java and Python(at very initial level).</p>
  
  <p><strong>If the game engine supports Linux platform then I will be very happy.</strong>   </p>
