Top 23 C++ Graphic Projects

Project mention: Just finished making a bite-sized platformer with dashing and slashing using love2d! (playable version linked in comments) | reddit.com/r/love2d | 2022-01-19
I used aseprite for the pixel art, Tiled for level creation and editing, and love.js to port it to the web. This the second game I've made with Love2D. I originally fell in love with this framework during a game jam and haven't looked back since. This project took about 80 hours of work total, spread out over 2 months or so.

3d-game-shaders-for-beginners
🎮 A step-by-step guide to implementing SSAO, depth of field, lighting, normal mapping, and more for your 3D game.
Some tutorials I have looked at (well nor originally, as I learned the basics when we were still at DX9 :D): - https://lettier.github.io/3d-game-shaders-for-beginners/index.html
-
bgfx
Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.
Project mention: What would be most beneficial to learn to get back up to speed? | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2021-12-27Perhaps not quite what you're looking for, but I've had a reasonably good experience with bgfx. It's basically 1 level of abstraction above specific graphics APIs (GL, DirectX, etc). It is not a full game engine, just a rendering API.
-
OpenFrameworks
openFrameworks is a community-developed cross platform toolkit for creative coding in C++.
Project mention: Is the a c/c++ Graphics library for Mac M1? | reddit.com/r/AskProgramming | 2022-01-06Maybe openframeworks
-
Project mention: Why isn't there any lightweight C++ game engine ? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-12-26
Then you might want to search for "Libraries" and "Frameworks", not "Game Engines". You might find things like Entt or SFML.

DearPyGui

Renderdoc works by inserting itself as a Vulkan layer, which means it can change the output of functions if it so chooses. As you can see in the RenderDoc version of vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices it changes how devices are returned, and this likely is the reason the order changes.

Project mention: Lottie – use After Effects animations in web and native apps | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-12-20
Skottie: Lottie player using the Skia graphics library[0][1]
Skia powers Google Chrome[2], Flutter, & Fuchia[3].

Project mention: What is the lightest C++ 3D game engine for Linux? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-12-23
You might be interested in Urho3D.

It's not a tutorial, but magnum is a modern C++11/14 graphic engine actively developed by a small team.

Project mention: How can I create animation of mathematical function that changes over time in c++ and save it as video | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2021-12-27

As an aside, vulkan-hpp exists which is a C++ RAII wrapper around regular vulkan. Better to use that than try to do it yourself.

Project mention: When we submit command buffer to graphics queue it will draw to swapchain images, then why do we need Framebuffer? | reddit.com/r/vulkan | 2021-12-27
The Vulkan-Samples have a sample on how to use it: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples/pull/394
-
Project mention: Pixel art, gif animations like Flipnote Studio on Steam Deck | reddit.com/r/SteamDeck | 2022-01-11
I have also seen Aseprite being recommended. It looks nice and I'm sure it works well, but it is not open source unfortunately. There is an open source alternative called LibreSprite, which seems to mimic Aseprite quite closely.
