Cool People & Websites
Here's some friends and others I've met/discovered online throughout the years, as well as other findings from the web I've found particularly useful.
How much you wanna bet I'll abandon this page in two weeks?
| Name/Link | Description |
|---|---|
| Andreas Kling | The man behind SerenityOS, a retro-style OS made from scratch |
| Bisqwit | YouTube creator who makes a wide variety of content, mostly programming-related. Check him out if you like C++ and old technology! |
| cancel | Creator of Ripcord, the best modern chat client :) |
| calzoneman | Creator of CyTube |
| Roger Clark | Programmer, artist, musician, variety content creator |
| Inigo Quilez | Demoscene/computer graphics extraordinaire |
| nothings/stb | Creator of the extremely useful stb single-file public domain libraries for C. I use his image libraries constantly. |
| Wunkolo | Computer graphics and cute art |
| ogldev | A little old, but still an excellent resource on OpenGL for many looking to get started with it. |
| learnopengl | Another resource for learning OpenGL. It's a little bit newer than the one linked above. |
| docs.gl | No-bullshit OpenGL documentation. My favorite thing about this site is how quickly you can look up the availability of something for whatever OpenGL version you're targeting. Very useful little website. |
| Erowid Experience Vault | This website has probably saved my life on a couple occasions. If you ever do drugs (don't) give Erowid a read. |
| PsychonautWiki | Similar to Erowid above, this one's about drugs, particularly psychedelics. You can learn about various substances here. |
| Sol_HSA | Demoscene/game jam community person and author of the awesome SoLoud audio library. Honestly this guy has done so much stuff that it's hard to really summarize his internet presence. |
| Sol's graphics tutorials | Here are some graphics programming tutorials Sol_HSA put together years back. It's older but all of the fundamentals still apply today. |
| Ludum Dare | One of the oldest game jam communities in existence. I've learned a lot through this community. |
| rxi | Game developer and author of the Tilekit software |
| DDRKirbyISQ | Musician/game jam community person |
| cppreference | A very helpful website when trying to decipher the occasional horrors of modern C++ |
| Alakajam | A newer jam community, sort of an offshoot of Ludum Dare and arguably a lot better IMO |
| OSTER project | Japanese composer (and now a VTuber?) who makes cool tunes |
| CHFR | YTPMV/音MAD creator |
| Dopi's Website | A virtual experience |
