libplacebo
Official mirror of libplacebo
libplacebo is a flexible, high-performance graphics library built on top of Vulkan, designed to provide reusable GPU-accelerated components for media applications. It originated as a core part of the rendering pipeline for the mpv media player and has since grown into a standalone library used for tone mapping, dithering, color space conversion, and more. libplacebo is ideal for developers looking to integrate sophisticated video rendering and post-processing into their own applications with full control over shaders and rendering stages. -

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. -

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. -

MLX42
Codam's own fixed, functioning alternative of the miniLibX
MLX42 is a modern C graphics and windowing library built on top of GLFW and inspired by the original MLX library used in 42 school projects. It aims to provide a higher-level, beginner-friendly abstraction for students learning about graphical programming, while also embracing modern practices like event-driven input, texture rendering, and transparency. MLX42 is structured to reduce boilerplate and simplify the creation of games or interactive applications in C, making it an excellent learning and teaching tool for graphics programming fundamentals. -

Notcurses
blingful character graphics/TUI library. definitely not curses
A library facilitating complex TUIs on modern terminal emulators, supporting vivid colors, multimedia, threads, and Unicode to the maximum degree possible. Things can be done with Notcurses that simply can't be done with NCURSES. It is furthermore fast as shit. What it is not: a source-compatible X/Open Curses implementation, nor a replacement for NCURSES on existing systems. Notcurses abandons the X/Open Curses API bundled as part of the Single UNIX Specification. For some necessary... -

Dear ImGui
Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
Dear ImGui is a bloat-free graphical user interface library for C++. It outputs optimized vertex buffers that you can render anytime in your 3D-pipeline enabled application. It is fast, portable, renderer agnostic and self-contained (no external dependencies). Dear ImGui is designed to enable fast iterations and to empower programmers to create content creation tools and visualization / debug tools (as opposed to UI for the average end-user). It favors simplicity and productivity toward this... -

imgui_club
Nice things to use along dear imgui
imgui_club is a companion collection to Dear ImGui that gathers small, officially maintained extensions and illustrative samples that don’t belong in the core library but are broadly useful. Instead of being a monolithic add-on, it focuses on targeted utilities that demonstrate patterns, widgets, and techniques the author and community rely on in real projects. You’ll find examples that show how to structure multi-context rendering, deal with threading concerns, and compose immediate-mode UIs that remain responsive under load. ... -
