  • I’m a changed man
    Give ModernGL a try, it makes openGL much less awful to work with. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Slime simulation in python using ModernGL
    It uses the python library ModernGL to interface with OpenGL and execute compute shaders, that way it can handle up to 2^26 slimes at 60 fps. I would highly suggest watching Sebastian's video, as it is, as always, awesome. Source: about 3 years ago

  • Open source recreation of the PS Vita game -- Calling all creators
    I would like to recreate the Plastic Memories PS Vita game as a free, open source, cross-platform (any platform SFML runs on*) game for everyone to enjoy. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to put into it (I don't have much time between school and various other projects of mine) but I can handle the code, coordination, and source code hosting.
