nCine VS SFML

ncJump source code: https://github.com/Fahien/ncJump ncJump Dev Logs: https://www.antoniocaggiano.eu/lab/ncjump-devlog/ nCine homepage: https://ncine.github.io/

I have integrated it a long time ago in my 2D game framework, you can have a look at the source code here: https://github.com/nCine/nCine

I have been coding mine for many years now. Fortunately it is still small enough that can be easily understood by one person. Have a look here: https://ncine.github.io/

It uses my 2D framework nCine, which I recently ported to Raspberry Pi. That's why there are so many supported platforms. ;)

nCine is a cross-platform 2D framework written in C++11 and scriptable with Lua that can be used for games, tools, or prototypes. I have been working on it in my spare time for more than ten years and it now works out-of-the-box on the latest version or Raspberry Pi OS!

I created this tool for game artists a while ago, with the hope of selling it and start an independent company about game development, tools, and game technology.

Unfortunately, it sold pretty much nothing so I'm back to the game industry as an employee while I decided to make it FOSS. :D

It is written in C++ using my game framework nCine (https://ncine.github.io/) and ImGui, and it supports multiple platforms, like PC, Android, and the web.

Devlogs as a GitHub discussion

If you would like to know more about my project, or the engine I am using, you can start from this GitHub discussion.

Take a look at SFML. Very easy to get started, and quite capable.

https://www.sfml-dev.org/

As for windows, you'd probably be alright looking into SFML, you can see their Getting Started tutorial for how to install it in your IDE of choice.

SFML (zlib/C++) https://github.com/SFML/SFML

SDL or SFML for drawing. They are both gfx libs but are used differently so read about what you thing suits you better.

Make a game with https://www.sfml-dev.org/ (I used SFML Rust to start learning Rust)
