cute_headers VS The-Forge

- https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/blob/master/cute_s...

It's a simple and relatively straightforward approach that a sufficiently bright programmer would come up in their own while looking at the design constraints though, so overall I find it a bit meaningless to find the ultimate person for the "original idea".

The verdict for indie developers (not using Unity/Unreal) seems: just bite the bullet and buy FMOD (or Wwise or any of the popular proprietary audio engies).

I was actually searching for a good open-source audio library to use, and found out that my options aren't that good. SoLoud is a pain in the ass to install and integrate into an existing codebase, and OpenAL doesn't have any good implementations available (either proprietary or LGPL). I'm now just using a simple single-header audio library in cute_headers (https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/blob/master/cute_s...), but will probably switch to MiniAudio once the high-level API is finished (https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio/issues/196)

Thanks for the pure collision library share! As far as collision goes, decided to look up other libraries! 3D alternatives https://github.com/flexible-collision-library/fcl Alternatives to yours https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers

single header libraries (https://github.com/nothings/stb , https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers , etc) can do some of the heavy lifting. I use stb for OGG and PNG decoding, also true type support, and maybe a few other things.

Oh, I forgot a few major ones:

https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge was used in No Man's Sky, Hades and Starfield.

https://github.com/jrouwe/JoltPhysics is the physics engine in Horizon Forbidden West.

This is a toy project that I've been working on for the past few months. Essentially, I've rewritten all the rendering code for the engine using BGFX. This means that all the fixed function OpenGL 1.2 code has been removed from the engine. BGFX supports OpenGL 3.3 and DirectX11, but there are still some rendering artifacts with DirectX11, so the engine still uses OpenGL when running on Windows. I've been considering switching to The Forge (https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge) if I want to have more control over the rendering pipeline. However, this is a complex topic with significant implications for the codebase. I've already done the hard work of eliminating clumsy abstractions in the engine and simplifying the render pipeline, so it's just a matter of deciding what direction I want to take.

The-Forge might fit:

We’re using The Forge (https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge) for this.

Or if you prefer something similar to SDL but little bit high level with support for console and enterprise. There is the forge. https://github.com/ConfettiFX/The-Forge

How about The Forge as base?
