cute_headers VS blah

- 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)

Currently I'm looking at a "header only" cute_tiled.h library that includes this instruction:

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.

Then, take a look at this GitHub repo for a tiny (but very complete) 2D game engine: https://github.com/noelfb/blah

back to the question blah is a small game framework by the person who made Celeste, that lacks in some features but is a great starting point.

For 2d there’s blah by noelfb who made Celeste: https://github.com/NoelFB/blah

As an example, see Noel Berry's small engine: https://github.com/NoelFB/blah He's an experienced indie game dev and he has a small framework (engine if you dare calling it) with not that many features, but is a great learning tool if you're starting, and shows that you don't need a big game engine to make good games.
