MathGeoLib VS gamedev_libraries

MathGeoLib for your simd but not psycho math and geometry

Or sometimes the mouse ray is tested against the physics mesh (or the graphical mesh if it's simple enough), or a sphere/capsule/convex hull. There is plenty of open source code out there for doing these intersection tests, like this.

If you don't like my suggestions for libraries, or want to explore more complex topics like serialization and scripting, check out this master list of gamedev libraries: https://github.com/raizam/gamedev_libraries

You can also try use C++, which I think you commented on here as what you prefer. Similarly, you should usually start with knowing how to code in the language first, and then find libraries that you might need to add more ✨ pizzaz ✨ sa game. Can try to see this list or this github repo hahaha i'm not a game developer, but i just have these saved randomly. hope it helps!

Yes, but the bulk of the effort isn't going into engines or ports. And it's certainly not going into proprietary equivalents of libraries like SDL2 or Dear ImGui.

Tools make it seem like you press buttons and things happen, You will find more if you look for libraries. https://github.com/raizam/gamedev_libraries.

If you really don't want to work with HTML & CSS, you'll probably need to extend Node.js with native C++ modules to architect your engine.
