    :video_game: An old 2D "Shoot 'Em Up" Sci-fi

  • I owe significant portion of my Win32 dev skills to VB6. It allowed for working with the Win32 SDK by importing API calls from user32, kernel32, gdi32, etc.

    When I was still in high school, I used to hack GUI projects and games in the evenings. The culmination of that was a full blown space shooter game using DirectX7 [0] (still runs on Linux) and a TCP/IP chat + canvas draw application that I had installed in the computer room at my school. Fun times.

  • *Idly checks out where it's at*

    :(

    Last modified March 2014: https://github.com/rebol/rebol

    And that's still just REBOL/Core, not REBOL/View.

  • Dolphin

    Dolphin Smalltalk Core Image (by dolphinsmalltalk)

  • Seems to still be kicking around: https://github.com/dolphinsmalltalk/Dolphin

    Apparently last modified 8 days ago, with a history of infrequent but steady commits.

  • pywin32

    Python for Windows (pywin32) Extensions

  • elementor

    The most advanced frontend drag & drop page builder. Create high-end, pixel perfect websites at record speeds. Any theme, any page, any design.

  • ren-c

    Library for embedding a Rebol interpreter into C codebases

  • It seems there is a very active fork : https://github.com/metaeducation/ren-c

    The merge request will be a little challenging if someone dares to try : "This branch is 6513 commits ahead, 14 commits behind rebolsource/r3:master"

  • polyworks

    Map editor for the game OpenSoldat

  • Adding all the words to the top of each file[0] and saving every file resolved it for me. Just need to pay attention to not change the casing when modifing/adding code.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
