Swoosh
My own personal project Swoosh aims to be a header-only scene management and transition effect library. Commonly seen in Game Maker games, transition effects bring a lot of polish to games and interactive apps. Polish makes your app look professional by bringing a lot of on-screen pizazz with just a few key strokes. Scene management is important and everyone re-invents the wheel every time and I never found a reusable framework that makes scene management simple. Swoosh makes all of these problems a thing of the past.
With your support I can add new features and address more common pain points. I'd like to spend time writing better documentation and writing a plethora of tutorials. Finally, I want to migrate Swoosh away from SFML so that it can be used with other frameworks like SDL2
SFML ES 2
SFML is a simple media layer library that also comes with modules that can handle most aspects of app development: graphics, audio, input, networking, and window creation. While its power comes from its simplicity, it is behind in graphics support. My SFML ES 2 branch brings SFML to android and other mobile devices.
With your support I can address other pain points SFML has been neglected on for some time bringing it to a competitive level for mobile device development.
Anything Else
I experiment with C++ language features to make the language more useful compared to other DSLs (see my Python-Like Function Decorators in C++). I also enjoy R&D (research and development). Contact me and we can discuss starting a new project of interest.
Every journey has its humble beginnings. It would be awesome to have the time to work on more advanced open source projects. With 10 sponsors it would be a major step forward!
