Qub³d Engine Group is a brand new voxel-based engine and game project, aiming to make a mature and extensible Minecraft-like game, backed by a vibrant and friendly community.

Anyone with interest in or experience with the following technologies are encouraged to join the project. They're just starting up, so there's plenty of room to find your niche:

  • C++ (especially C++17)
  • Clang compiler (GCC secondary)
  • OpenGL
  • SDL2
  • Lua
  • Sphinx (documentation)
  • CMake

The easiest way to get started is to join the Discord room. Link is on the website: qub3d.org

Sorry, after my original reply, I realized you were referring to Qub³d, which actually broke up last year. :(

If you want to sharpen your C++ skills, however, you're welcome to check out the open source development work at MousePaw Media. If you have questions before getting started, reach out to me on our Phabricator Lobby chatroom (sign in with GitHub).

I guess I'll shamelessly post again this week because this was pretty successful last week.

I'm growing a collection of sample programs in as many programming languages as possible. If that sounds interesting, give the repo a star to help it grow.

When I shared this last week, I got my first two contributors, so thanks!

Hi Jeremy. I like your idea. Because I'm a first-time contributor, I need some guidance to start contributing. Would you mind dropping me an email at dev.abdus@gmail.com? So, that I can discuss about it with you. Please.

I really have to thank everyone who has already started helping out. Last week, I was the only one working on the project. Now, I have 12 stars and 8 forks--incredible.

Thanks, Ben! This is really an awesome resource.

Brilliant idea. I have a couple of code snippets I would love to add to the growing collection. I'm a first-time contributor and would really appreciate some guidance as well if it's not too much to ask for. `ephygtz@gmail.com`

Great discussion, thanks for opening that up!

Prisma (>7k stars) turns your database into a GraphQL API and we are looking for first time contributors and experienced contributors alike.

We welcome new features, bug fixes and documentation improvements to the core library (Scala) as well as our tooling suite around it (JavaScript/TypeScript).

We have many other open source projects beyond Prisma that are widely used in the GraphQL space - check them out on our open source page.

You can engage with us on Github or in Slack so we can help you getting started!

I know it can be hard. But you can try analyzing the code, looking for something you can improve. Be it a small refactor, improving its documentation, etc.

Orchid is a tool I recently released after working on it for over a year, and I'm just looking to get some traction on it, to get people using it in real-world situations. I'm currently using it for several sites of my own and at my work, but would love to get feedback from a larger community.

It's a static site generator for Java and Kotlin, and is especially great at generating documentation for all kinds of projects. It already documents Java and Swift code, and has plugins that bring the best features of other tools together in one place, like blogs, wikis, custom taxonomies, and presentations, and is designed to be really easy to extend.

Please check it out and let me know your thoughts and how I can make it better/easier to use. It's my first "major" open-source project but is doing very well at 56 stars right now, and I'm really excited about its future!

React Pure Loader are loaders built as React pure components using JS to CSS to handle styles.

Pocok.io

It's a Docker tool that helps to initialise and run project of any complexity with a simple command line interface.

To start any existing project (local, remote) all you have to do is just to run simple command:

$:~ pocok run my-project

it will clone your project, pull all required images and run you project.
You can create multiple environments/plans for development, production, demo etc.
You can also create your own catalog/registry or use GitHub or Gitlab integration.
