Allegro library website redirected to anti-Kotaku Nazi-related page
Some nutjob has taken control of https://liballeg.org to redirect it to some anti-Nazi page that mentions Kotaku, comparing them to nazis.

Self taught developers, what did you know when you started?
C, C++, Allegro, SDL, Some rudimentary SQL, Some basic BSD Sockets. But I also took some time to learn 3D math, trigonometry and linear algebra so I can include some basic 3D examples in my portfolio. I was later told that it was the 3D math that made the difference because if I (barely finished HS) can do that I can probably learn everything they give me.

Recourses to make games like they did in the 90s?
Wow, DJGPP and Allegro (still going!), that takes me back - that and Bloodshed IDE were my weapons of choice back then!

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
allegro5 is a great rendering library if you want to get something 2D on the screen fast

Are there other examples of people who made games with their own engines like Minecraft ?
Hell, their website says in the first few sentences it isn't an engine.

Where to start?
A while ago I was getting started with the Allegro5 game engine (+Rust bindings). It's the same engine used for Factorio. I wrote a simple egui-integration to have nicer UI options. It was mostly for myself and is thus poorly documented but maybe you get some ideas how to make it work.

Ask HN: Released games built on FOSS engines?
On a similar note, released games with open sourced code: https://osgameclones.com/?tag=official
https://torque3d.org was used on Airship Dragoon, Marble Blast Gold, Penny Arcade Adventures, Legions: Overdrive and descends from the original Tribes engine.
Hellbreaker, Bit Champs with https://u3d.io
And plenty of successful games with Ogre, including Torchlight: https://www.ogre3d.org/showcase

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
Torque 2D/3D: Didn't do too much digging around on this one, but both versions are MIT licensed like Godot, but it seems like the project is a little more mature, with built-in multiplayer support. Could be worth looking into as an alternative to Godot if you really want something with MIT licensing.

Do people still make games in Java?
But from now on, I think I will abandon that, and continue with Torque3D engine : https://torque3d.org/

How do you protect your game assets from infringement? Asking for suggestions
Torque3D- This one seems great for beginners, as it's free and open-source. The downside is, I'm not sure if it has enough features for complex projects or how secure it is.

Star Citizen, a videogame stuck in development for 10+ years. Scam? Something completely fresh? r/Gaming discusses
No lie, that overall looks a lot like a game done for a senior design project 15+ years ago using Garage Games' (now https://torque3d.org/) RTS kit.
