krita VS stk-code

You can pay for FOSS software. I do it to support FOSS developers and maintainers.

Krita (version 5.1.3): Professional painting program

After browsing through some trending repos, I'm looking forward to contributing to Krita in the upcoming weeks. It's a cross-platform application for digital painting.

There's only few programs which can pull that off, e.g. Krita and one reason is that it's not commercial.

made with [Krita](https://github.com/KDE/krita btw)

Not only free, but more importantly, open source.

SuperTuxKart - Mario Kart inspired racing game. C++, C, OpenGL, SDL2

Unfortunately, the three people who programmed the vast majority of modern SuperTuxKart and managed the community were bullied out of the project a couple years ago. [1]

The new team lead was somebody who seemed to have a habit of stonewalling [2] ideas and code contributions from both community members and the dev team, talking down about "newbie-tier players" with "zero skill", and [3] hyperfixating on "balance" (in what is fundamentally a kids' game) without room for fun or discussion. The lead artist, who made basically all the tracks that are worth looking at, and whom I'd worked with now and then to get a couple contributions included, eventually disappeared too.

Naturally, commits, contributors, and blog posts/updates are now at an all-time low. [4]

It is a thing, Google is advocating for it, and many also use SDL - for example, or this.

That feeling when a meme vid has better reflections than the actual game

No problem! For starters, you'll want to compile and run the game. Are you using Windows, macOS, or Linux on your main PC? Instructions can be found at https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/blob/master/INSTALL.md but I;d be happy to walk you through the process if it makes it easier :)
