    CGL

    CGL

    CGL (C Game Library) is a multipurpose library

    cgl is a compact, header-only C graphics library for 2D drawing operations using software rendering. Designed for simplicity and portability, cgl allows rendering of primitives such as lines, circles, triangles, and text to an in-memory framebuffer, which can then be displayed with any platform-dependent backend. It’s ideal for building custom engines, retro-style games, GUIs, or educational demos where GPU acceleration is not required.

    Xash3D FWGS Engine

    Xash3D FWGS Engine

    Xash3D FWGS engine

    Xash3D FWGS is an open-source fork and extension of the original GoldSrc-based engine (from the classic era of first-person shooters), aimed at providing compatibility with the original engine (e.g. games built on it) while extending and modernizing its capabilities. The engine supports multiple rendering backends (OpenGL, GLES, software fallback), modern platforms (desktop OSes, mobile, etc.), and updated features such as better multiplayer, voice chat, IPv6 support, improved virtual filesystem, and support for modern asset formats. For modders or fans of classic games, Xash3D FWGS offers a way to play or build games using the familiar GoldSrc workflow but with updated portability and features. ...

    PortableGL

    PortableGL

    An implementation of OpenGL 3.x-ish in clean C

    PortableGL is a single-header, software-only implementation of a subset of OpenGL (specifically the GL 2.1 pipeline), designed to run entirely on the CPU. This lightweight graphics library allows OpenGL-style rendering without GPU acceleration, making it ideal for educational use, debugging, embedded systems, and retro-style software rendering. Because it mirrors OpenGL syntax and design, it can act as a drop-in CPU renderer for testing or deploying 3D graphics on platforms without GPU support.
