olive.c VS deadfrog-lib

Olive.c

another option is to have a specific program that does this conversion, e.g https://github.com/tsoding/olive.c/blob/master/tools/png2c.c

Perfect companion for this C graphics library: https://github.com/tsoding/olive.c

This might help: https://github.com/tsoding/olive.c/blob/master/js/vc.js

Olive.c: a simple graphics library that does not have any dependencies\ (70 comments)

Hey the link to https://tsoding.org/olive.c/ is down.

I think the Xlib dependency would prevent compilation as an αpε. I put some effort into doing X11 from scratch (without Xlib or Xcb) to make this possible. Or at least, my aim was to be able to build with musl libc and generate a single executable that would run on many different Linuxes.

https://github.com/abainbridge/deadfrog-lib/blob/master/src/.... It is janky though.

Having a bitmap in normal system memory that we can write to the window or screen is easy though and should be more widely supported. Once you've got that you can write pixels, lines, rectangles, mandlebrots etc very easily and building up to a GUI toolkit is also quite easy and fun. This mechanism is fast enough for pretty much everything other than games on modern hardware.

I consider GPU acceleration a form of premature optimization - it adds complexity unnecessarily in many cases.

Here's my library for doing that on Windows and X11. https://github.com/abainbridge/deadfrog-lib
