PL3D-KC
A very fast and simple software renderer using only integers and fixed point math. PiSHi LE (PL) is a subset of the 3D software graphics library used in King's Crook. (by LMP88959)
q
A fixed point library (Signed Q16.16) for embedded systems. (by howerj)
The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- NTSC Emulation in C with integers only (Source available)
- Any open source software renderers that use *scanline-based* triangle rendering algorithm with pure integer arithmetic, top-left rule, and texture mapping?
- Are there other examples of people who made games with their own engines like Minecraft ?
- Is there a way to generate 2d and 3d graphics without libraries or external engines?

[Source] Integer-only 3D Software Renderer in pure C! Info in comments
PiSHi LE (PL) is a subset of the 3D graphics library used in King's Crook. FW LE is a subset of the windowing library used in King's Crook. Just like King's Crook, this code follows the same restrictions: 1. Everything must be done in software, no explicit usage of hardware acceleration. 2. No floating point types or literals, everything must be integer only. 3. No 3rd party libraries, only C standard library and OS libraries for window, input, etc. 4. No languages used besides C. 5. No compiler specific features and no SIMD. 6. Single threaded. https://github.com/LMP88959/PL3D-KC If you are using macOS, go to fw.h and change FW_X11_IS_MACOS to 1. Compiling for macOS/Linux: cd PL3D-KC gcc -lX11 -lXext -O3 *.c fw/*.c -o pl ./pl Compiling for Win32 is a bit more involved, I've only used Visual Studio to develop for Windows but this program doesn't use anything other than the Win32 library and winmm.lib (don't forget to link against winmm.lib!). Of course, you're not limited to using Visual Studio, feel free to use any build system you're comfortable with under Windows. Don't forget to compile with max optimization!

Cosine Implementation in C
Personally I like Universal CORDIC, you can calculate much more than Cosine, but it tends to be slower. See https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Digital_Circuits/CORDIC#The_Un... and a somewhat janky fixed point library that implements it https://github.com/howerj/q
What are some alternatives?
When comparing PL3D-KC and q you can also consider the following projects:
small3dlib
Bessels.jl - Bessel functions for real arguments and orders
minecraft-assets - Extracted Minecraft Assets
FastTrig - Arduino library with interpolated lookup for sin() and cos()
renderer - A shader-based software renderer written from scratch in C89
arb - Arb has been merged into FLINT -- use https://github.com/flintlib/flint/ instead
scratch - Personal scratch code
Allegro - The official Allegro 5 git repository. Pull requests welcome!
tmp3d - A 3-D software renderer written from scratch running in an HTML5 <canvas>
Doomcraft - Transformed a 2D Map into Immersive 3D Environment with Textured Walls
