olcPixelGameEngine VS gzdoom

I'm using SFML to develop my game engine (Though I might switch to olcPixelGameEngine at some point in the future).

If you want something simple (single file to drop in a project) with a nice easy C++ API for 2D graphics there is OneLoneCoder's Pixel Game Engine.

The PixelGameEngine from OneLoneCoder would probably fit here.

As always, I recommend https://github.com/OneLoneCoder/olcPixelGameEngine :) It's just one header, so you just include it in your project and you're good to go.

And if you want to try making a small game with rudamentary graphics, but not go full OpenGL/DirectX, take a look at OLC pixel game engine. It's a one header graphics library that will allow you to draw simple shapes, text, etc. perfect for prototyping or making very simple games. Eventually you'll want to try making Pong to take your training to the next level, so this will be perfect for that.

For a beginner I’d recommend the One Lone Coder Pixel Game Engine olcPixelGameEngine It is a single header library, works in Windows, Mac and Linux. The author also has some great game programming videos on his YouTube channel OLC YouTube

The source code is public and under the license of the olcPixelGameEngine found at: https://github.com/OneLoneCoder/olcPixelGameEngine

All you need is here. Just put the .h file in your project and you're done.

Looks like there is a reason gzdoom isn't updated.

I use the Zdoom Strife Dialog format as a base which is just a couple of structs, bit of state, and some data-query functions to implement the baseline. Changes I've made to the format are small, mostly just making it aware of lua, i18n, anim cues, and so-on.

From what I heard you want to really understand how CGI works, since then it boils down to adding more viewpoints, getting input from the additional hardware you have and rendering onto it. You can compare how gzdoomvr is a modified version of gzdoom for some pointers.
