URL Snooper
I found DonationCoder.com during one of late night surfing sessions. I was just looking bouncing around and came across URL Snooper and thought it was a great program. The more I looked at your programs the more I liked the way they were created. I love the way your programs: 1 are small and compact 2 install cleanly 3 have none of the "bloat" that a lot of people put in 4 take the stance that great programs do not have to be expensive These are the reasons I decided to donate.

Amit Patel's Red Blob Games and Game Programming Pages

Screenshot - 2_19_2014 , 7_19_06 PM_thumb001.png
DC member App103 found this fantastic collection of articles and links by Amit Patel on game Programming.

He discusses pathfinding, procedural world generation, AI coding, and a huge range of wonderful topics.  Very nicely organized and presented.

I’ve been helping people make games since 1990. I wrote games earlier in life, with Solar Realms Elite being the most well known, then worked on an environmental simulation game called BlobCity, then took a break for over a decade. The recent rise of indie, mobile, tablet, social, and web games have made me interested in game development again. My current passion is using interactivity on the web for learning, especially learning game algorithms. With modern web browsers, there’s no need for explanations to follow the formats used in magazines, technical papers, and books. We can combine learning by reading, learning by watching, and learning by doing.
