Hi there;
This is a quick list of programs and other stuff that is very usable for game programming which is offered up free of charge and free of royalties.
If you know a tool or other thing that is handy for game programmers, please don't hesitate to add it to this list. Nothing it hosted here, we only link to stuff.
Please note that some programs may be marked as 'Strong Copyleft'. This means that the license of that tool or product may require you to make the game you create free or to copy the license of the product you chose. The GPL is the most famous example of that. So I really recommend to check the licenses before using the stuff I link to.
UPX: Ultimate Packer for eXecutables
Tricky Staff MemberPosted: Aug 13th 2013 | I was recommended to use UPX to reduce the size of the executable files of the projects I release. Well nothing wrong with the compression ratio, but a lot of programs didn’t run at all any more after I UPXed them.
As rather a big program that works than the other way around, I decided myself never to use UPX again, but maybe things have improved after I made that decission. |
