TinyXML

I'm thinking about storing configuration data (i.e. chosen resolution, sound volume...) in an XML file, so I've decided to test an XML parser called TinyXML, which is released under the ZLib license, uses DOM and seems small and simple to use.

I've just started learning how to use it, but my first tests are positive.

Google Web Fonts

Looking for good free fonts I could use in my game I came across Google Web Fonts, another cool website from Google, full of fonts under an open source license (all I've checked so far are under the SIL Open Font License).

Interesting links: 2D game physics and rigid body dynamics

Every time I search for information about something new I end up with a bunch of useful links worth remembering. I'm starting this new category of posts titled "Interesting links" where I'll share those links I find.

I'm gonna start with three links about 2D game physics and rigid body dynamics:

• Olivier Renault's 2D Physics tutorials: version 1, version 2
• Chris Hecker's Rigid Body Dynamics tutorials
• Metanet Software tutorials
