links!! i gather these like cards

• beepbox is a very nice open source retro music online daw
  • I recommend using a mod of it, jummbox. it adds a lot of features, but in particular, its “mod” channel feature (which function like automation clips in flstudio, for example) is very powerful. I use it for drafting music before putting it in flstudio
• audiotool is another online daw. technically more powerful, but its exceptionally tedious to use. I used it for Ejow’s soundtrack
• nicky case has a ton of good stuff
• jamis buck’s blog is full of great stuff. this link is to their post explaining the “growing tree” maze generation algorithm, and they have a lot of posts about maze generation algorithms
  • they also wrote a book on maze generation algorithms!
• cool maze generator
• github
  • guthib
  • my github profile
• ever wanted to write your own linux kernel from scratch? no? well now you do
• professor messer has a huge collection of free IT training videos!
• jsbench, a javascript benchmarker
• p5.js, an open source javascript library that makes it trivial to use various javascript functions, like drawing to the canvas. it also has an online editor!
  • a lot of my projects in my projects page use p5.js, sometimes mostly for the online editor after I gut the library lol
  • q5.js is another library that tries to be p5.js but much faster and smaller. it’s mostly accurate but there are several notable discrepancies between the p5.js and q5.js’s behaviour.
• code pen is great for quickly iterating on css styles
  • my code pen profile

• virtual consoles!
  • pico-8, arguably the most famous. 128x128 display, 16 preset colors(technically more, but we don’t talk about that), basic sound, and a lua code limit. very fun, probably! I’ve never used it lmao
  • tic-80. pico-8 but with less limitations. 240x136 display, 16 choosable colors, and support for 8 different languages, including lua, javascript, ruby, and a few other nicher ones.

  • script-8
  • octo, slightly less of a virtual console. it compiles your high level assembly code to chip-8 instructions.

• scratch, an introductory programming website, where you program with blocks. this is how I got into programming!
  • my scratch profile
  • turbowarp, a custom runtime for scratch projects that compile the project to javascript, which lets it run signifigantly faster. it also has a custom editor with a lot of options that make it more fun and less tedious to program with the blocks
  • snap! is a much more powerful version of scratch (it adds things like first class functions, lists inside lists, temporary variables, etc), but it is quite slower than even vanilla scratch.
  • ocular, a tool for searching the scratch forums
• guide to spam-like products
• wiby, a search engine for small websites
• a collection of the browsers, last updated in 2003
• web demo for townscaper, a little city building toy. very fun to use.
  • it uses wave function collapse (not exactly the quantum thing, the algorithm is based on the concept though) to generate the tiles it should use, an algorithm that I love so muchhhh I need to write an implementation of it sometime
• shapez.io, factorio but more focused on relaxation. a sequel is coming out soon!
