Luxembourg: Future Carbon Removal Capital?

This article was written by OpenAir members Jérôme Thomas, Jan-Philip Wassenaar, and Chris Neidl, with contributions from Eduardo Eischen, Antoine Faltz and Sean Mohen. WEBINAR.

My goal was to develop a video game that was easy to translate and to actively support #minoritized, #indigenous, and less-resourced #languages. You can already play Number Delver in #Basque, #Catalan, #Irish, & #Lakota. More coming soon.

Number Delver is a fast-paced arcade game that challenges your mathematical skills. Power up by finding the correct answers on each world.

So I came across some code that apparently hasn't been reviewed in awhile. #DDR #CCCP #UI

The Breton arcade shooter Steredenn and Corsican RPG Winterfall expand the limited catalog of commercial games available in minority languages.

Much like Scott McCloud's work on comics, these amazing animated gif "tutorials" explain the medium of #pixelart via that medium. https://www.patreon.com/saint11
