In this article, we describe the beginning of our efforts to protect ourselves from third-party solutions.
Since day one of Opensource Game Studio project, we rely heavily on third-party solutions to help us achieve the goal of creating the best game development tools. To this date, we used forums, task trackers, mailing lists, social networks, code version control systems, hosting providers, compiler suites, libraries, and so on. Each third-party solution we used had its own lifespan.. . .

In this article, Michael shares his experience of teaching kids to program.
Here's what he covers:
Organization of the learning process
The learning process is conducted as part of corporate social responsibility: a company provides a room with equipment and connects employees that want to try themselves in the role of teachers with employees that want their kids educated. All this is done voluntarily.. . .

It was a year of reimagining and rethinking. As some of you may remember, we started this project to make a game development tool. During the years, the idea evolved from one form to another, sometimes the changes were significant, other times we threw away all the code and started anew.
As a result of all these changes, we came to the end of the year 2018 without a tool, but with a clear understanding of what tool are we making.
There are plenty of fine game development tools out there. Some of them are even open source. We spent plenty of time trying them, and some are quite good.. . .

In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development tool look like, in our opinion.
Questions
As you know, the goals of Opensource Game Studio are:
This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:

This article describes two new OpenSceneGraph cross-platform examples and the change in handling dependencies.
Examples of HTTP client and node selection
Once we finished working on the remote debugging example and reported its completion, we were surprised by the fact that secure HTTP connection between a debugged application and debug broker was only working in the web version of the example. Desktop and mobile versions only worked with insecure HTTP.. . .

This article explains how the third OpenSceneGraph cross-platform example opened our eyes to example-driven development.
2018-08 EDIT: the third example has been renamed to the fourth one due to the reasons described in the next article.
The third OpenSceneGraph cross-platform example
The third OpenSceneGraph cross-platform example explains how to implement remote debugging across platforms. This example is less about OpenSceneGraph and more about different platforms.. . .

This article summarizes the work we did to produce the first two cross-platform OpenSceneGraph examples.
By the time the first technology demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2 has been released, we've already had issue request (to explain how to load images with OpenSceneGraph on Android) hanging for some time. We considered creating a new tutorial for OpenSceneGraph cross-platform guide at first. However, we realized that it's time-consuming and excessive for such a tiny topic (compared to what an average game has) as image loading. We decided to continue sharing our knowledge in the form of concrete examples. That's how OpenSceneGraph cross-platform examples were born.. . .
