Simple2D is a cross-platform C library that wraps SDL2 to provide a clean and easy API for developing 2D games and interactive applications. It’s designed to be beginner-friendly and eliminates much of the boilerplate involved in setting up graphics, audio, and input handling. Developers can use Simple2D to quickly prototype ideas or build lightweight applications in C with full access to rendering, events, and asset management. It is especially well-suited for learning environments and small indie projects.

Features

  • Simple API wrapping SDL2 for 2D graphics development
  • Cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS
