Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • TIC-80

    TIC-80 is a fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.

  • TIC-80 and PICO-8 are great for making quick games and learning. the limitations encourage a smaller scope and the simplicity of the tools make it easy to collab with young children on the development itself. Making a sprite is just coloring some squares after all :) Great moment to animate their little doodle on the screen and have it controlled by their input. Would recommend the book Mindstorms on using games as educational tools, these tools fit within that view.

  • Godot

    Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  • Godot is another good option for general purpose use, if you'd rather have more conventional tooling.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
