...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. Its small footprint and lack of external dependencies make it easy to embed in any C project.

space-shooter.c is a cross-platform, top-down 2D space shooter game implemented entirely in standard C11, designed as a low-level exploration of game development without relying on external frameworks. The project deliberately uses only platform-native libraries, such as Win32 on Windows, Xlib on Linux, and Emscripten for web builds, to demonstrate how games can be built directly on system APIs. It supports rendering through OpenGL and handles audio and input using platform-specific solutions, providing a comprehensive example of system-level game architecture. The codebase is structured into clear layers, including platform, game logic, and rendering, offering educational insight into how these components interact in a real-time application. ...

cingb is an ATTEMPT to write a Gameboy-emulator for all kinds of platforms. It plays Gameboy and Gameboy Color ROMs, includes a debugger for step-by-step analysis of Gameboy programs and might be also interesting for educational purposes.
