    librg

    Making multi-player gamedev simpler since 2017

    Making multi-player game dev simpler since 2017. Single-header cross-platform world replication in pure C99. librg is a lightweight library that serves as a middleware between data-transferring libraries (networking, file-streaming, etc.) and core application/game logic. The library was born to solve the complexities of setting up and managing the flow of multi-player games and dedicated game servers. It came a long way in stripping out things that were non-essential, slowly sculpting into...

    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.

    microui

    A tiny immediate-mode UI library

    microui is a tiny immediate-mode user interface library designed for developers who want a minimal UI foundation without a heavy framework. It follows the immediate-mode pattern, where the interface is rebuilt each frame from application state instead of being stored as a large retained widget tree. The project is intentionally small and gives developers room to add their own controls, rendering backends, and interaction patterns. It is especially useful for tools, games, editors, embedded...

    gVisor

    gVisor

    Application Kernel for Containers

    gVisor is an application kernel developed by Google that provides a strong layer of isolation between applications and the host operating system. Written in Go, it implements a Linux-compatible system call interface that runs entirely in user space, creating a secure sandboxed environment for containers. Unlike traditional virtual machines or lightweight syscall filters, gVisor follows a third approach that offers many of the security benefits of virtualization while maintaining the speed, resource efficiency, and flexibility of containers. ...

    A fast and low-memory footprint OCI Container Runtime fully written in C. While most of the tools used in the Linux containers ecosystem are written in Go, I believe C is a better fit for a lower-level tool like container runtime. runc, the most used implementation of the OCI runtime specs written in Go, re-execs itself and uses a module written in C for setting up the environment before the container process starts. crun aims to be also usable as a library that can be easily included in...
