Awesome Odin Save
A collection of awesome Odin libraries, bindings, software and resources 🧙♂️✨
Project README
A collection of awesome Odin libraries, software and resources.
Odin is a general-purpose programming language built for high-performance, modern systems and data-oriented programming.
A star (⭐) means the resource is exceptionally good.
[!NOTE] Some of the lists are based on the Odin Libs Wiki Page
[!IMPORTANT] Many commonly used bindings are already included in the Vendor Collection which comes with the compiler
Contents
Other Lists
Tags
Many lists include a "tags" secion. The goal is to make it very easy to find a resource/library for specific type, even if it falls into multiple categories.
Notable tags:
- Gamedev - related to game or engine development
- Graphics - graphics programming
- Format - an implementation of a data format specification
- Webdev - related to frontend or backend web development
