Hello everyone! I know it's been nearly a year since the last PotM, but we haven't given up on them yet! Without further ado, lets get right into the projects:

  • gfx3 : A sprite stacking library [C]: Currently, programs which overlay sprites on top of other sprites to give the impression of a 3D world need to implement the stacking from scratch.
