miniaudio VS microui

Unfortunately, I can't currently capture any videos (I added miniaudio.h to play back the Jurassic Park theme song) since I had to move my mom into my home (she's getting a divorce from her narcissistic husband soon and the guy lost his marbles and locked her out of her own home) and it's late at night currently.

miniaudio - so far the best entry in cross platform audio. It is a stack allowing to use device alone, decoders and mixers, or node based engine for sophisticated audio processing. Extensible where it should be. Written in C, so there are no creature comforts of having C++. Aways can be wrapped to get advantage of RAII.

So, I wanna implement this library to the source engine. Is that possible? And also, since source is based on SDL, is it possible for me to implement Nuklear on my source game?

The most straightforward lib for this is miniaudio. It's straightforward,l to use and easy to integrate into a build system.

You give little clues what this is… so cl-miniaudio defines CFFI bindings to https://miniaud.io/ which is "an audio playback and capture library for C and C++. It's made up of a single source file, has no external dependencies and is released into the public domain." and is cross-platform.

* Miniaudio - A single header file audio library https://miniaud.io/

Both (actually, not just three systems) cross-platform.

For their design and cross-platform support they make for great bases for Go libraries, unlike most C code out there.

I've used this library before: https://miniaud.io/

There is also microui, which I like[0].

Which I forked to work with SDL2[1], no guarantees. It's fun to hack on.

Otherwise, https://github.com/rxi/microui is small enough that you can hack around. Look at the issue though, there's a bit of unaligned access there.

For GUI, there are lots, most well-known of course being Dear Imgui, for which people have made auto-generated C bindings. Another mature but a lot simpler option is Nuklear, as others have mentioned. Even more minimalistic (it's just 1KLOC) is microui. There are a lot more, just google "imgui library c".

The price for the 'lightest' UI toolkit probably goes to microui:

https://github.com/rxi/microui

Just around 1100 lines of C code.

You need to bring your own renderer, but that's the same for Nuklear or Dear ImGui.

I wrote a WASM wrapper for the microui demo too:

Good C library list: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/links/libs https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear + C89, no dependencies, public license. 5/5 https://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/ + good tutorial and wiki guides 5/5 https://libsdl.org/ + infinite possibilities - whole library for making games, forums, wiki - complicated, not many C tutorials, need to manage game states... 4/5 https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl + good docs - for embedded systems 4/5 https://github.com/ocornut/imgui + Popular, inspired Nuklear - for C++ 3/5 https://docs.enlightenment.org/api/imlib2/html/ + very efficient, used in Conky - uses X so only for Linux, just for displaying images and text and stuff 2/5 https://github.com/rxi/microui + simple, small - you need to handle your own drawing 2/5 GTK+ - no

Really? Here's a minimal UI with I believe less LOC than Suckless DWM. It's not a full DE, but I imagine you could probably turn it into one without adding that much more code.
