@exquisitecorp gotosocial, tic80, tiled, and archive.org are the most recent ones for me, plus supporting some individuals who aren't working on a specific program but doing important work

@technomancy great list.
i've been meaning to try out tiled with love2d.
tic80 i've not spent enough time with because i use pico-8 and love2d, but i'm going to try it as i'm proposing an intro to gamemaking class with lua for the fall and need to decide what tools to propose we use.

@exquisitecorp cool, where would this class be offered?

@technomancy I teach at one of the state universities in NY. This would be an alternative intro to programming course I'd offer.

@exquisitecorp awesome! I've never taught at that level but I think TIC is one of the best entry points possible for programmers

@technomancy this is cool, i'm trying out some of the games and looking at documentation.
i like how it's all-inclusive with soundmaking and sprites. this might make it an easier entry than love2d.

@exquisitecorp all the benefits of pico8 without the licensing issues and eye-melting font, more or less =)

plus it lets you use lisp

@technomancy I can appreciate that!. Yeah , the pico8 font is very hard on my eyes. Similar problems for me using panic playdate.
