There is no official list of game engines and which games use them, but the awesome website www.pcgamingwiki.com contains an incredible amount of titles and many are tagged with the corresponding engine and the website is powered by MediaWiki for its API. Because of those reasons, I decided to write some python scripts to fetch the relevant data (in a polite, non-abusive way) and then be able to do some analytics with it.
Currently the Python script just fetches and stores a CSV of game engine names (PCGW naming scheme), then fetches and stores a list of games for each engine (into a single CSV file), and then generates a third CSV file containing a generalized games per engines list, because why building that basic aggregate later when they is so easily built from here?
pip3 install -r requirements.txtpython3 fetch_data.pyComment or uncomment as desired actions at __main__.
Note that it is on purpose using most of the times files as input where it could instead pass in-memory data, but my intention is to ensure CSV files are always in perfect shape and dataset size is tiny so really fast anyway.
