  Game engines provide a platform for developers to build games with an
interface tailored to handle the complexity during game development. To reduce
effort and improve quality of game development, there is a strong need to
understand and analyze the quality of game engines and their various aspects
such as API usability, code quality, code reuse and so on. To the best our
knowledge, we are not aware of any dataset that caters to game engines in the
literature. To this end, we present GE852, a dataset of 852 game engine
repositories mined from GitHub in two languages, namely Java and C++. The
dataset contains metadata of all the mined repositories including commits, pull
requests, issues and so on. We believe that our dataset can lay foundation for
empirical investigation in the area of game engines.
