Jansson VS Allegro

I'm a fan of jansson easy to use and great documentation

Context: I needed to emit rather complex compound JSON data for a C-based project I'm working on. I could do it all with sprintf(), but it got messy quickly. I looked at available libraries such as jansson and CCAN's json, but they both used malloc(), which isn't an option in my case.

I find jansson quite usable and minimal: https://github.com/akheron/jansson

JanSON has been really good for my uses. Simple, intuitive, fast.

I don't see why something like Jansson wouldn't.

Allegro (zlib/plain C) https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5

Some nutjob has taken control of https://liballeg.org to redirect it to some anti-Nazi page that mentions Kotaku, comparing them to nazis.

C, C++, Allegro, SDL, Some rudimentary SQL, Some basic BSD Sockets. But I also took some time to learn 3D math, trigonometry and linear algebra so I can include some basic 3D examples in my portfolio. I was later told that it was the 3D math that made the difference because if I (barely finished HS) can do that I can probably learn everything they give me.

Wow, DJGPP and Allegro (still going!), that takes me back - that and Bloodshed IDE were my weapons of choice back then!

allegro 5 is quite alright with fonts

allegro5 is a great rendering library if you want to get something 2D on the screen fast

Hell, their website says in the first few sentences it isn't an engine.

A while ago I was getting started with the Allegro5 game engine (+Rust bindings). It's the same engine used for Factorio. I wrote a simple egui-integration to have nicer UI options. It was mostly for myself and is thus poorly documented but maybe you get some ideas how to make it work.

Here's a simple program using Allegro
