Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

  1. BrogueCE

    Brogue: Community Edition - a community-lead fork of the much-loved minimalist roguelike game

    I love any opportunity to suggest people try out Brogue. It was developed with the idea "What would have happened if development continued on Rogue?"

  3. Cataclysm-DDA

    Cataclysm - Dark Days Ahead. A turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

    CDDA for me at the moment, version 0.H Herbert was released last month.

  4. NetHack

    Official NetHack Git Repository

    Yes and still under active development [1]! We also just finished the 2024 November NetHack Tournament (TNNT) [2]! I played in the tournament for the first time this year. I had one near-win with a very challenging Monk (I was doing a bunch of conducts [3]) who unfortunately died to the infamous Wizard of Yendor (Rodney as we call him). I also had a winning run with a Wizard which unfortunately finished a few hours after the deadline at the end of the tournament, so sadly that one didn't count!

    Next year I hope to have a bit more time to play so that I can record a win in regulation time!

  5. shattered-pixel-dungeon

    Shattered Pixel Dungeon is an open-source traditional roguelike dungeon crawler with randomized levels and enemies, and hundreds of items to collect and use. It's based on the source code of Pixel Dungeon, by Watabou.

    What a coincidence that this should be posted on the 12th anniversary of Pixel Dungeon, which is an entertaining free and open source roguelike for Android. There's an actively developed fork called Shattered Pixel Dungeon developed by Even Debenhams. It looks splendid and still gets new gameplay mechanics from time to time.

    PS. This isn't a paid advert - I've just wasted a lot of time dying to sewer crabs in this game and want to make sure you have the opportunity to waste your time too ;)
