Hi, everyone! I’m going to try and do my best in highlighting awesome open source projects that came onto my radar in the past few years!

One of the best things about #FOSS is how you can learn from the work of other people!
One of my favorite books of all times https://t.co/aTM4CRE76A teaches you about the inner workings of compilers, how to build one and it’s fully open-source!

I do a lot of game development in my free time, so I thought I’d share some #FOSS tools and libraries that make the job so much easier!
ImGUI is an amazing immediate mode UI library, meaning that to draw a button you have to call just one function!

And if you are looking for a great #FOSS game engine, I can really recommend you LibGDX: a cross-platform engine written in Java.
Or if you prefer something a bit more simple yet very powerful, Processing is your best shot

For fans of JavaScript out there, I’m pretty sure you know the library already, but I thought I’d mention amazing p5.js, it is basically Processing but with JS scripting straight in your browser!

And if you ever need art for your games, aseprite is as good as it gets, especially taking into the consideration that it is #FOSS too (I was really surprised when I found this out)
It’s is THE software used for pixel art by millions of professionals

#FOSS games are very rare, especially on mobile. Shattered Pixel Dungeon is an amazing roguelike written in Java, that can teach you a ton both about game/code design & roguelikes. It’s a must play!

Continuing on topic of useful #FOSS for developing games, really often you need something to record a clip of video, and OBS is just an overkill for that.
That’s when Simple Screen Recorder steps in: lightweight, very powerful & easy to use:

Lite is a very powerful #FOSS code editor written in Lua with plugins in mind. It does everything you would want from your modern IDE & more, while staying really simple in terms of the actual implementation!

And with that, I’m passing the mic to the next @imakefoss curator!
Thanks for having me, and see y’all around Twitter :)
