Cinder

Cinder is a free and open source library for professional-quality creative coding in C++. Cinder is available under the BSD License for macOS and Windows. The latest version is 0.9.2. To keep up-to-date with Cinder’s development, consider working from the github repository directly. Cinder is a C++ library for programming with aesthetic intent - the sort of development often called creative coding. This includes domains like graphics, audio, video, and computational geometry. Cinder is cross-platform, with official support for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Windows UWP. Cinder is production-proven, powerful enough to be the primary tool for professionals, but still suitable for learning and experimentation. Full keyboard, mouse (including scroll wheel), window, and file drag and drop.
