The Strides Game Creator allows designers to create games without touching C++ or other programming languages and uses a MadLib instructions style (like the Starcraft editor) to create games.

R-Type, the classic side-scrolling SHUMP game. Of course, as the site’s name implies, the game has to be created with SDL. Prizes include $200, chance to moderate the forum and your own personal SDLTutorial.com email. Maybe you would also win fame and honour as well too, if you ask for an email like “iron-gamecoder” :D

Incidentally, the site is also great to get tutorials on…..SDL (with a side-dish of C++). Also there is something called sdl.net for those who like to work with managed code.

The demo showcases a “print to any part of the screen” library (or typically known as curses), viewports, scrolling menus and much more. Check it out!

Meanwhile, over at the LS Grimorie, you can find a way to implement a simple yet effective diminishing return function.

Coding one would take some time and here’s a pretty good implementation over at CenterSpace. It’s a simple class to use — check out the example included.
