Project mention: I just took a random screenshot and made it look prettier. [ I don't know if this counts as fanart ] | reddit.com/r/PixelGun | 2021-12-20
E: Realtime compression (A good compression library like Zstandard can make a game less than half the size while taking a tiny amount of CPU power when loading stuff. I think thats a pretty worthwhile trade.) (ZSTD github) (LZ4 github)

cute_headers
Collection of cross-platform one-file C/C++ libraries with no dependencies, primarily used for games
The verdict for indie developers (not using Unity/Unreal) seems: just bite the bullet and buy FMOD (or Wwise or any of the popular proprietary audio engies).
I was actually searching for a good open-source audio library to use, and found out that my options aren't that good. SoLoud is a pain in the ass to install and integrate into an existing codebase, and OpenAL doesn't have any good implementations available (either proprietary or LGPL). I'm now just using a simple single-header audio library in cute_headers (https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/blob/master/cute_s...), but will probably switch to MiniAudio once the high-level API is finished (https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio/issues/196)

Scout APM
Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

cstore_fdw
Columnar storage extension for Postgres built as a foreign data wrapper. Check out https://github.com/citusdata/citus for a modernized columnar storage implementation built as a table access method.
The citus extension for postgresql. https://github.com/citusdata/cstore_fdw

Got it, that makes sense -- thanks for the help! Another commenter pointed out some of those oddities in the flags; It looks like something opus is computing/setting in their makefile which the dependency is invoking.

Choose the data compression algorithm based on the specifics of your data. For example, if you are working with lots of short strings, take a look at [*SMAZ](https://github.com/antirez/smaz).*

zip - Really really small zip archive processing library. Unlicense

TurboPFor - Fastest integer compression. GPL-2.0-or-later
-
Let's add a library to read these compressed files. We'll use the Rust library flate2, which includes the functionality we need plus much more.
-
lizard
Lizard (formerly LZ5) is an efficient compressor with very fast decompression. It achieves compression ratio that is comparable to zip/zlib and zstd/brotli (at low and medium compression levels) at decompression speed of 1000 MB/s and faster. (by inikep)
-
SIMDComp - Simple library for compressing lists of integers using binary packing. Makes use of SIMD instructions on x86. BSD-3-Clause

Project mention: How to achieve maximum compression with FreeArc! | reddit.com/r/compression | 2022-01-16
An example of such tool is precomp - this one is unlikely to be used by FitGirl though, it's just a tool that I know of : http://schnaader.info/precomp.php
-
minlzma
The Minimal LZMA (minlzma) project aims to provide a minimalistic, cross-platform, highly commented, standards-compliant C library (minlzlib) for decompressing LZMA2-encapsulated compressed data in LZMA format within an XZ container, as can be generated with Python 3.6, 7-zip, and xzutils
Is there any LZMA2 library for ESP32 to decompress XZ file format? I've found minlzma, but will it work in ESP32?
-
fastLZ - Lightning-fast lossless compression library (LZ77 type). Embbedable on small target like ARM Cortex-M families. Source code directly embbedable on your project ( a pair of h/c files), no dynamic memory allocation. MIT
