g3d VS castle-client

Sadly not, I'm hoping to monetize this project. If you want a 3d library you can checkout https://github.com/groverburger/g3d (or https://github.com/rozenmad/Menoriif you want something more high level) and I wrote a repo to show off an example of networking https://github.com/EngineerSmith/enet-example to help people get started with enet (that's included in love)

Made with groverburgers tremendous 3d engine

Here's a tiny 3D engine: https://github.com/groverburger/g3d. Should show you everything you need to do 3D.

The link to g3d is right here.

So there's actually two things:

1. Love can actually be used directly as a C++ library. It's a bit of work to get the build system going but that's what we do on https://github.com/castle-xyz/castle-client/tree/master/core -- example of use of the Love API: https://github.com/castle-xyz/castle-client/blob/7bfffa10e84... -- we used to use the Lua Love and have since worked on porting our engine to C++. It even runs in the web with the same code through Wasm.

2. For a 'simple C library for 2d (and actually 3d) game development' -- I would highly recommend https://www.raylib.com/. I really, really dig the API design there. One of the main 'downsides' I guess is it doesn't out of the box build natively for iOS -- but the Wasm support makes it run there pretty fine out of the box and raylib-fork can be used to get a native iOS build going with some work. It's got a lot of stuff out of the box including a GLTF loader and skeletal animation.
