What is a Game Engine

$

Hello. I would like to ask you all: What are the features that a program/script needs to have to be called a 'game engine' I have been working for years on my little and still very incomplete Python 3D engine and I found today that it is not mentioned in any list of engines! While this has the advantage of not adding pressure on me, it still feels a little wrong. I'm thinking that it is ignored because it still lacks something very important that prevent it from being considered a real game engine., but I don't see what. Right now it features: Forward Rendering with OpenGL 3.2 GPU animations Open AL Sounds Bullet Physics (partially wrapped) SDL2 and QT4 windowing Totally incomplete GUI (Panel, Image, Label [using Signed Distance Fields]) Lights Full screen effects system (none included) Plugin system (None included) The beginning of a QT4 Editor What do you think it needs, besides more work on what it already has? Thanks.
