Links
This is where I will share any web things made by others that I have found that I am particularly delighted or enlightened by and think others might also be one of the above to encounter.
Personal Websites/Blogs
- 0xC0DE
- Develops 6502/Acorn games which are obviously areas of interest for me!
Brianna Townsend- Game developer with a great gamedev blog.
Eniko Fox- Developer of the very cool Kitsune Tails who also does some blogging.
- Kimimi The Game-Eating She-Monster
- Really interesting blog about playing games.
- Renga in Blue
- Writes a lot of great posts about interactive fiction.
Virtual Moose- Creates lists of places and people you might find yourself interested in!
- Wes Robertson
- Japanese language resources and insights.
Books and Reading
- Books Of All Time
- The home of a podcast and reading club focusing on books that are thoughtfully curated to expand one as a reader.
- Neglected Books
- Exactly what it says on the tin, a place to find out about books and authors you've probably never heard about.
Food
- The Polish Housewife
- I swear I had half this website open in tabs at one point 'for when I have time to try it'.
Game Development Resources
- Handmade Hero Guide
- A (currently paused) YouTube series that covers the creation of a game starting from very low-level (mainly Windows) programming. The project is old enough at this point that a lot of the material feels dated in terms of what would be most useful today, and there are more videos than anyone could hope to sanely absorb, but there's a lot to be learned here too.
Games
- Cookie Clicker
- One of the most iconic idle/incremental/clicker games. One of the few safe spaces on the Internet to discuss the inherent evil of grandmas.
- Domino Club
- A collective effort producing some really interesting experimental game projects.
- slow roads
- Just drive a not particularly physics-reliable car along a road. Or through a stone wall. Or across endless fields trying to find the road again because you refuse to press the button that will take you back there. Or into a body of water because you just wanted to know if you could do that and now you can't find your way out...
Language Resources
- Lexis Rex
- Some great resources for learning a variety of languages.
Novelty
- The 88x31 Archive
- A collection of buttons scraped from Geocities sites. A charming window into a largely disappeared Internet.
- FrogFind
- A search engine suitable for vintage computers.
- Kevin's Fridge Magnets
- A charming holdover from the older more fun days of the Internet: virtual fridge magnet letters you can rearrange to say whatever's on your mind!
- Mac Themes Garden
- A gallery of custom themes for the Kaleidoscope theme manager from the Classic Mac era. It's a charmingly aesthetic site, as you would expect from something built by a Mac fan of that era.
- OMFGDOGS
- They're dogs! :D
Programming Resources
- Easing Functions
- A site to help you choose an easing function for a particular situation.
Visual Resources
- Britain From Above
- Lots of fabulous overhead shots of Britain.
- Reference Angle
- Searchable reference images for human faces in different poses.
