Welcome to Computist

Computist is a digital curation platform dedicated to preserving and showcasing indie open source game development projects for educational purposes. Our mission is to make valuable open source resources accessible to developers, students, and researchers worldwide.

Our Mission

In the rapidly evolving world of game development, countless indie developers create innovative projects that deserve recognition and preservation. However, many of these projects get lost in the vast sea of GitHub repositories, making it difficult for learners and researchers to discover and study them.

Computist addresses this challenge by:

• Curating Quality Projects: We carefully select indie open source projects that demonstrate valuable techniques, innovative approaches, or educational value
• Preserving Digital Heritage: We ensure that important game development projects are preserved for future generations
• Facilitating Education: We make these resources easily accessible for learning, research, and inspiration
• Supporting Multiple Engines: We cover Unity3D, Unreal Engine, Godot, and other game development platforms
