Stuff We Use

The following are some links to pieces of software and websites that we use when doing our development work. This is just an informative section for those interested in what software we prefer to use. These are in no particular order, and this list is most likely not complete.

Programming Utilities

Sharp DevelopSharp Develop
An open source programming environment that Jamie prefers for all of his .Net related adventures.
Unity 3DUnity 3D
Jamie has been playing with the Unity 3D Engine. Even he's interested to see what he can make with it.
MonoMono
A cross platform port of Microsoft's .Net Framework, allowing .Net applications to run on Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, Solaris, and other Unix based platforms. Our software can run on Linux and Mac OSX thanks to Mono.
JetBrains dotTrace
A performance profiling application that Jamie uses to find and fix weird errors in our software.

No software protection is perfect, but this is a good obfuscator I use.
Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL)Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL)
A cross platform library that we use for making our games run on Windows, Linux, and Macs. We no longer do much with SDL, but current versions of Catalyst Deluxe and Anirah: Riddle of the Pharaohs still use it.
Tao FrameworkTao Framework
A collection of libraries that make interfacing with SDL and OpenGL easier from C# code. This project is now defunct, but Catalyst Deluxe, Anirah: Riddle of the Pharaohs, and Batch Image Converter still use it.

Internet Tools

Mozilla FirefoxMozilla Firefox
We mostly use Firefox when building our site. The site also looks good in Safari, Chrome, and Midori. Don't even get me started on IE.
JQuery
Jamie has been using this to make web programming work a lot less annoying.

Tutorials and Other Informative Sites

Code ProjectCode Project
Lots of great tutorials on various aspects of programming on this site.
GIMP Tutorials
I'm usually amazed at how these people come up with the methods in their tutorials. Awesome tips for graphics work.

File Software Sites and Lists

Pad Repository
A large database of PAD files for use by software authors, webmasters, and people looking for software on the Internet. This is one of the many places we've used to promote our software.
