		Markdeep Markdown everywhere, with diagrams and equations A free technology that magically makes plain text documents look great when viewed in a browser. No plugin, installation, document compiling or exporting...just start writing.

		Quadplay✜ Fantasy console in a web browser A free and open source fantasy console and development environment for hobby programming, game jams, and teaching. Quadplay✜ uses a Python-like scripting language, supports up to four players, and provides hundreds of built-in sprites, sounds, and fonts to get you started.

		The Graphics Codex An essential reference for 3D computer graphics. I compiled the equations, diagrams, and code that I most reference into this app and then added 13 chapters of lecture notes from the graphics courses I taught. Available in iOS app and Windows, OS X, Android, and Linux web editions.

		G3D Innovation Engine Graphics research and rapid prototyping in OpenGL and C++ An open source engine used for research and development throughout academia and industry for 20 years on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. The primary code library for the Graphics Codex and Computer Graphics Principles and Practice.

		McGuire Computer Graphics Archive Computer graphics benchmarks Free, standardized computer graphics models and test images for use in research and prototyping in OBJ and PNG format.

		Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice The definitive, comprehensive textbook on computer graphics for over three decades This third edition of the classic "Foley and van Dam" text is completely rewritten to cover all major topics in the field. It is both broad and deep, covering topics as diverse as including GPU architecture, path tracing, shader programming, matrix transformations, the physics of light, subdivision surfaces, spatial data structures, and animation.

		The Sailing Codex A friendly guide to daysailing, racing, and cruising A clear and friendly guide to sailboats for beginners and intermediate sailors from lakes to oceans.

		Creating Games: Mechanics, Content, and Technology Game development, from world-building to coding to project management A practical introduction to game development for indie developers, hobbyists, and students.

		TurtleScript A teaching environment for young programmers A modern variant of the classic LOGO language with a simple web integrated development environment and extensibility to animations.

		Project Rocket Golfing A game of exploration and discovery for all ages on iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. An infinite, procedurally-generated universe filled with ice planets, wormholes, aliens, verdant worlds, binary star systems, lost civilizations, and more. The further you explore, the more that the game changes. You will encounter new game features as you reach more distant galaxies.
