C++ GLFW

Open-source C++ projects categorized as GLFW

Top 21 C++ GLFW Projects

  • bgfx

    Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.

    Project mention: Is it a crazy idea to create a 3D operating system? | reddit.com/r/osdev | 2023-05-21

    Another route could be using an abstraction over Vulkan (faster, more efficient, more difficult): bgfx, dawn, magma, or wgpu (Rust).

  • magnum

    Lightweight and modular C++11 graphics middleware for games and data visualization

    Project mention: Want to a 3D game without a game engine but not having to deal with opengl stuff ? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2022-12-09

    Magnum

  • ONLYOFFICE

    ONLYOFFICE Docs — document collaboration in your environment. Powerful document editing and collaboration in your app or environment. Ultimate security, API and 30+ ready connectors, SaaS or on-premises

  • glslViewer

    Console-based GLSL Sandbox for 2D/3D shaders

    Project mention: Fun with real-time manipulation of glsl (shader) files | reddit.com/r/proceduralgeneration | 2022-07-02

    I'm not an expert on glsl/shaders etc. but rather understand how to use Python to read values from hardware (ADC) and convert it to OSC, which, in turn, is passed on to glslViewer (https://github.com/patriciogonzalezvivo/glslViewer) ... it is glslViewer that does all the hard work of hot reloading .frag files as new uniform values are received.

  • WebGui

    An example demo of IMGUI (Immediate Mode GUI) on the web. Using only WebGL, GLFW and ImGui. Suitable for being compiled to web assembly (WASM).

  • ImPlay

    A Cross-Platform Desktop Media Player

    Project mention: mpv player with GUI (for parents) | reddit.com/r/linux4noobs | 2023-05-15

    ImPlay.

  • Physics3D

    A 3D physics engine

  • OpenGL_CMake_Skeleton

    :heart: A ready to use cmake skeleton using GLFW, Glew and glm. :+1:

    Project mention: CMake fails to build OpenGL project due to missing targets OpenGL and GLX whereas reference project does not have the same problem. | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2022-10-10

    The main GLEW repository from how I currently understand it is not designed to be used as a subdirectory. So I found a skeleton project that I went off of and it links to an alternative glew repository that includes source files, although it hasn't been updated in a while. I was able to do this succesfully before by roughly following along with what the skeleton project does. In fact I made a repository that worked at one point. However a new problem has showed up. It could have come up with an update from once of the dependencies or maybe it's because I had reinstalled Ubuntu between now and then.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • borealis

    Hardware accelerated, controller and TV oriented UI library for PC and Nintendo Switch (libnx)

  • bigger

    bigg (bgfx + imgui + glfw + glm) + utils

  • scop_vulkan

    A 3D model viewer written C++20 and Vulkan

  • BunnyLOD

    Cross platform GLFW based port of Stan Melax's BunnyLOD Easy Mesh Simplification

    Project mention: question about wasted index Buffer data | reddit.com/r/VoxelGameDev | 2022-11-08

    If you reuse the same index buffer as proposed then you won't be able to share vertices, which can be an important optimization. In my case I use a 323 cache of vert indices and just insert an index rather than a vertex if the vertex already exists and has the same material. I generate normals in the pixel shader to increase what can be shared, and then use a variant of Stan Melax's edge collapse polygon reduction algorithm to combine edges and reduce triangle count.

  • glfwpp

    GLFW C++ Wrapper - thin, modern, C++17, header-only GLFW wrapper

    Project mention: Best practices for managing global state? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2023-04-30

    You might also want to consider using glfwpp, which is a C++ wrapper around glfw. It wraps the glfw callbacks with std::fuction, so you can pass function objects or lambdas with captures without thinking about managing the single global user pointer.

  • Spatial.Engine

    [WIP] Spatial is a cross-platform C++ game engine.

  • wase-engine

    A 2D game engine written in C++

    Project mention: "could not find sdl" error when adding wase engine to project using github | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2022-09-26

    include(FetchContent) FetchContent_Declare( wase-engine GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/Wase-Engine/wase-engine GIT_TAG 1.0 ) FetchContent_MakeAvailable(wase-engine) target_link_libraries(yourstuff PRIVATE wase-engine)

  • stylized_snake_game

    A cross-platform desktop stylized version of snake game made from scratch in C++/OpenGL.

  • chip-8

    Yet another Chip-8 interpreter, but this time with a beautiful interface 💻

  • zxShaderViz

    A useful tool to edit and visualize shaders in real time.

  • Physically-based-deferred-shading

    First attempt at writing a good looking 3D renderer. Written in C++ using OpenGL on Ubuntu.

  • cpp-graphics
