Basic Computer Games is a modern revitalization of the classic “Basic Computer Games” book’s collection of games, ported and expanded into various modern, memory-safe and scripting languages. It includes illustrative code examples of many classic games (e.g. Blackjack, Bowling) in multiple languages, with the goal of making the historical games accessible and educational in safe modern environments.

Botcraft is an advanced Minecraft bot framework that provides a full client implementation in Node.js, enabling bots to join Minecraft servers, interact with the world, and perform tasks like mining, fighting, and building. It leverages the mineflayer ecosystem to provide a highly programmable interface for automation and AI experimentation in Minecraft. Botcraft is particularly useful for AI researchers, game modders, and automation enthusiasts who want to explore pathfinding, environment...

...Designed for simplicity and portability, cgl allows rendering of primitives such as lines, circles, triangles, and text to an in-memory framebuffer, which can then be displayed with any platform-dependent backend. It’s ideal for building custom engines, retro-style games, GUIs, or educational demos where GPU acceleration is not required. Its small footprint and lack of external dependencies make it easy to embed in any C project.

WebAssembly from Scratch is an educational and exploratory project that demonstrates how WebAssembly works from the ground up by progressively building increasingly complex programs starting from simple examples like FizzBuzz and culminating in advanced applications such as running classic games. It is structured as a narrative journey that emphasizes understanding WebAssembly at a low level, rather than relying on high-level tooling or abstractions.

...Because Superpowers Core is engine-agnostic, it can be extended with project types and plugins, making it adaptable for games, apps, websites, and other interactive experiences. The core supports live previews, real-time synchronization, and flexible project structures, which makes it appealing for both educational use and small-team game development.

The tinyraycaster project is a compact implementation of a classic raycasting engine inspired by early first-person shooter games, written in a minimal amount of C++ code. It demonstrates how to create a basic 3D environment using 2D grid-based maps and raycasting techniques. The project focuses on teaching the principles behind rendering pseudo-3D scenes, including wall projection, texture mapping, and camera movement. Its simplicity allows developers to understand the entire rendering...

lwjgl-basics is a lightweight, shader-driven Java library designed to teach and simplify 2D game development using LWJGL and OpenGL, focusing on minimal abstractions and direct control over rendering pipelines. It provides essential utilities for handling textures, shaders, and sprite rendering while maintaining a low-level approach that exposes developers to the underlying graphics concepts. The repository doubles as both a functional library and an educational resource, offering example...

...The library focuses on clarity and correctness: its implementation is intentionally concise and readable so developers can understand the algorithm, while still correctly handling tricky edge cases such as overlapping coplanar polygons. A WebGL-based demo shows how two solids can be combined interactively in the browser, making it a great educational tool for learning CSG concepts. The API allows you to create primitives (cubes, spheres, etc.) and then combine or transform them programmatically, producing new mesh geometry for rendering or export. Because it is dependency-light and pure JavaScript, csg.js can be integrated into custom modeling tools, CAD-like apps, games, or procedural modeling pipelines running in the browser or Node.

A simulation environment for 2D robots to interact and perform tasks in. Meant to be educational and demonstrate emergent behaviors. No download necessary! See demos on project website!

Educational game framework supporting board games, strategy games, and other grid-based game boards. Currently uses Python/wxPython as the application language/library. C++ libs included to help create AI for the various games.

This project aim to provide a crowd movement simulation based on primitive human behaviours and emerging behaviours for research and educational purposes. The application (front-end) is generic and can be reused.

jMARS is a java implementation of the famous "Core Wars" application first described by A.K. Dewdney. Using eXtreme Programming combined with Java, EJB, and the Rich Client Platform it can be used as an educational tool to understand these technologies
