Arcade is an easy-to-learn Python library for creating 2D video games. It is ideal for people learning to program, or developers that want to code a 2D game without learning a complex framework. Arcade is built on top of pyglet and OpenGL. It looks like folks have done 2d isometric (pseudo-3d) games (along the lines of Head Over Heels) with it as well.
If you've tried to build something in Godot or Unity, you know how frustrating these IDEs are for beginners. They're built around 3D engines, and making simple 2D games is like pulling teeth. On the other hand, completely visual IDEs like Scratch are a misery to work with due to their inflexible design. Fantasy consoles are like PICO-8 and TIC-80 are fantastic, but they're really geared towards Game Boy Color-sized experiences.
We need a middle-ground for making hi-res 2D stuff again. An IDE that's as easy to use as Visual Basic, that lets you drag'n'drop window elements and game objects with ease. An IDE that doesn't require watching 25 hours of crappy Youtube coding tutorials to render a hello world scene. We had all of this in the mid-90s, and we forgot how much user interfaces mattered for the average kid who just wanted to goof around and make stuff. Something as easy as HyperCard, but as robust as Visual Basic.
EXiGY rolls up the all of the above experiences into a single package: make games the way they were made in the mid-90s, by dragging and dropping objects into a window, programming some behaviour into those objects, and clicking the Run button. It's like ZZT with tile graphics instead of ASCII. EXiGY is a game engine, IDE, and construction kit, all rolled up into a tiny package.

Give the web application on this site a URL, some text, a phone number, or an SMS code and it'll generated a 2d barcode called a QRcode, which you can save as a .png file to use as you like. Good for stickers, business cards, and other ways of making some data machine readable and scannable.
An open source clone of the game Worms in which you manipulate a team of characters (usually earthworms) to box, pummel, blow up, and otherwise mangle the characters of the other team in a cartoon-like fashion. Network/deathmatch play possible.
An open source platform/strategy game reminiscent of Worms.
Dscript is a style of calligraphy which is designed to represent information in two dimensions instead of one. Uses basic shapes and pen strokes that are both flexible and efficient. Can be written horizontally, vertically, or some combination if the writer chooses. Seems like it could aid visual thinkers in memorizing lots of very specific information (like structures and compositions of complex compounds in organic chemistry).
