    Tiny is a lightweight 2D game engine that allows developers to easily create games using the Lua programming language. (by minigdx)

  • It literally is the first thing you see -- the docs at https://minigdx.github.io/tiny/ have a demo "BREAKOUT" game embedded in the page under the first paragraph with a link to the source code lol

  • minigdx

    Minimalist Game Framework using Kotlin Multiplatform

  • Lua is easy to learn, dynamically typed and doesn't need to be compiled: it's perfect to get instant reload and it's perfect for small projects.

    If you want to create games using Kotlin, you can try my 3D Game Engine: minigdx (https://github.com/minigdx/minigdx).

    Or other game engine:

    - https://littlekt.com/ (LittleKt (Little Kotlin) is a multiplatform 2D game framework written in Kotlin)

    - https://korge.org/ (Korge - Modern Multiplatform Game Engine for Kotlin.)

    - https://libgdx.com/ (LibGDX, it's for Java but you can use Kotlin, if you don't want to target the web platform)

  • 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.
