2D graphics lib recommendation?
TIGR
-
What are some of your favourite tools/libraries/frameworks to visualize or prototype something
I think Tigr is probably the easiest plug-and-play solution. But if I don't need moving or interactive graphics, I usually just output SVG images (no library needed).
- TIGR - the TIny GRaphics library for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. (Released into Public Domain.)
-
Minimal cross-platform graphics + audio (~500 LOC)
reminds me of TIGR, but simpler (but also without hardware acceleration/shaders, but also with sound)
- Minimal Cross-Platform Graphics

TIGR – TIny GRaphics cross-platform library
Delighful, works at first try and the code looks well organized.

Where do I start for creating a windowed app in pure rust?
In addition to the other options, you can look at small windowing libraries in other languages. For example TIGR has pretty straightforward Mac code using pure C (you'll need to have some understanding of the ObjC object model and the way it's exposed to C though).
-
Looking for a very basic 2d graphics library
I found TIGR to be the most pain-free way to just get graphics on the screen. It includes basic shape and font rendering.
- my little project: tipsy - tiny playstationy renderer in ~500 lines of code
-
Simple graphics library
I've found that the quickest and simplest solution to render graphics is Tigr.

Allegro library website redirected to anti-Kotaku Nazi-related page
Some nutjob has taken control of https://liballeg.org to redirect it to some anti-Nazi page that mentions Kotaku, comparing them to nazis.
-
Self taught developers, what did you know when you started?
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.
-
Recourses to make games like they did in the 90s?
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
-
What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
allegro5 is a great rendering library if you want to get something 2D on the screen fast
-
Are there other examples of people who made games with their own engines like Minecraft ?
Hell, their website says in the first few sentences it isn't an engine.
-
Where to start?
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.
