    "Powerful Framework for Cross-Platform Games Development"

    by Valerian on May 26, 2016 12:00 PM

    Summary:
    Marmalade is a powerful and complex framework for building games that can be compiled and deployed across various platforms including both desktops and mobile. It focuses on development in C++ for achieving optimal performance in games that require it, however, it also includes tools like "Marmalade Quick" which provide a Lua scripting interface instead. The system has a fairly steep learning curve (as well as a steep price tag), and I would not recommend it to beginners looking to create their first game. For a professional team looking for a way to work from a single code base and deploy to multiple platforms though, it offers many benefits when compared to the competition. A great deal of AAA commercial projects have been built with it.

    "Simple and Stable"

    by Valerian on May 26, 2016 11:41 AM

    Summary:
    This editor is nothing fancy, and not much to look at, but that's what makes it one of the best text editors. It has been around for years and is still being developed, and it is very stable. It has a very large user base/community. It has very flexible built-in tools and supports many programming/scripting languages out of the box. It is also extremely lightweight, which is nice where resources are tight.

    "Very dated, but still works"

    by Valerian on May 26, 2016 11:35 AM

    Summary:
    Microsoft Visual SourceSafe has been retired for many years now, and can't be recommended due to the numerous other more modern and free version control software available now. Still, SourceSafe is easy to setup for a small company, is easy to use, is stable, and still runs under current versions of Windows.

    "A Solid Database System"

    by Valerian on May 26, 2016 11:28 AM

    Summary:
    I have worked with database development/management for many years and have worked with several versions of Microsoft SQL Server. It has always been a strong database system offering many features and quite good performance overall. Even the free "Express" version offers enough that smaller systems can work with it, or developer test environments can use without having to cover the substantial price of the full version.
