SDL bgi is a graphics library (GRAPHICS.H) for C, C++, WebAssembly, and Python. It's based on SDL2 / SDL3 and it's portable on many platforms.
SDL_bgi is functionally compatible with the original BGI in Turbo C and Borland C++, and also with another implementation, WinBGIm.
In addition, SDL_bgi provides extensions for ARGB colours, mouse support, vector fonts, and multiple windows.

Features

  • easy graphics in C, C++, WebAssembly, and Python
