Post #156: The Start of Experimentation This is temporary. But I'm doing some more experimenting with SDL.

Post #155: SDL3 Examples Check out SDL3 examples here… examples.libsdl.org/SDL3

Post #154: Made with SDL Still looking into SDL. On their homepage, every time you refresh, they show two games (I assume randomly chosen) that were made with SDL!

Post #153: SDL main() Reading a bit more about SDL. SDL handles the calling of your main function in your program. I would assume this means when the app is built and packaged, it handles directing the package to use your main function as a starting point. That could be wrong though…

Post #152: Looking at SDL3 I’ve spent most of the past 152 days learning Godot. I’m not stopping that at this point. But today I spent a chunk of time looking into SDL3 for more low level control in game development. If you haven’t heard of SDL3 before, check it out: wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/FrontPage

Post #151: Bevy Thoughts? Looking into Windows Direct X …

I've made 6 open-source @godotengine.org projects perfect for as a base for your first or next game. Completely human-made and easy to understand code & comments. All visuals and sounds included, CC0! kenney.nl/starter-kits

Post #149: Godot Resource Packs Today I learned about resource packs in Godot, and how you can use them for patches, DLC releases, or other interesting things once your game is already released. Read more here: docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tu...

Post #148: Kenney vs Sweeney WHAT? CompiledFrog: compiledfrog.com

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖
