Project mention: I have a few months to prepare for an interview. Is there a project that would get me at least part of the way there for the interview? | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-01-23
In terms of a project which would be worthwhile, I think building a software rasterizer from scratch is a useful first step. TinyRenderer is a great place to start. Looking at the high level overview of many graphics subjects, ScratchAPixel is a valuable resource. Theres also just great information in some of the rote graphics programming textbooks (Michael Abrash's Black Book fully available online from Jason Gregory, and this book is really interesting). The "RayTracer in a weekend" series is also (seemingly) very illuminating (no pun intended).

bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
Project mention: Cross platform low level graphics API suitable for game development? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2023-01-27Take a look at BGFX, sounds like its what you want. Its a cross platform graphics API that is low level like metal or opengl, however it treats opengl, metal, vulkan, etc as backends that u can compile to so you can write your code once and then compile to macos using metal as the backend, compile to web using webgl as the backend, compile for windows using directx as the backend etc etc. Its written in C++ but it has officially supported C bindings so you can use it with C no problem.

InfluxDB
Build time-series-based applications quickly and at scale.. InfluxDB is the Time Series Platform where developers build real-time applications for analytics, IoT and cloud-native services. Easy to start, it is available in the cloud or on-premises.

Project mention: What features would you like to see that are not available in leading game engines | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2022-07-27
It sounds like you're asking them to just remake https://flaxengine.com. (Minus ECS)

Project mention: RustDesk – The open source TeamViewer alternative | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-07-26
I'm a bit curious here.
I see that RustDesk is licensed AGPL 3.0. At the same time the GUI component (Sciter - https://www.sciter.com) is proprietary software with it's own non-compatible license (https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-sdk/blob/524a90ef7eab16575...).
Was the intention to use something like LGPL to stand on the shoulders of the external libraries or was the choice of AGPL just a hopeful goal with licensing issues to be resolved in the future?

If all goes well, try to run the game when it's done. You can also install GemRB (the opensource engine for Infinity games) if you want, it might have extra features.

The full code is available here. Written in C++ with TinyEngine.

Project mention: Bucaneering games. (Basically being a pirate - but not pirating games) | reddit.com/r/opensourcegames | 2022-09-21
If you are fine with open source engine + proprietary data then you can check: https://store.steampowered.com/app/223330/Sea_Dogs_To_Each_His_Own__Pirate_Open_World_RPG/ Engine source code: https://github.com/storm-devs/storm-engine

Project mention: OpenMW – a FOSS engine re-implementation for Morrowind | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-29
Me and my friends have been playing Morrowind once again, this engine makes it very playable on modern hardware. We have also tried out the fork of this engine that adds _multiplayer_ https://tes3mp.com/

Project mention: We are English VN publisher NekoNyan- Ask us Anything! | reddit.com/r/vns | 2022-03-26
KiriKiri-Z is also open source (https://github.com/krkrz/krkrz), but I usually don't look at its source. It helps me prepare in case I ever need to port VNs without access to engine code.

Project mention: Played SOC multiple times with purist / fix oriented mods, now I want to try a decent modpack. | reddit.com/r/stalker | 2023-01-27
No, CoC uses CoC-Xray, which is a fork of CoP engine, OGSR uses OGSR-Engine, which is a fork of SoC engine.
