Project mention: Beside SDL, is there an easier way to just show a custom rectangle with text, cross-platform? | /r/C_Programming | 2023-05-13I would recommend C bindings for the Dear ImGui (https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui)
One thing that really helped me is looking at the source code and assets of one game that I really enjoyed -- SNKRX, the creator of the game, a327ex, put everything on Github so you can take a look how a finished game looks: https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX/. The repo even includes the various images needed for Steam, this was very nice so I could make sure some of the assets I made aren't unfit for their purpose: https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX/tree/master/assets/media . There are also some Photoshop files provided on the Steamworks FAQ which are very useful too, but they mainly show just in which area of the image you shouldn't put important text etc.
Project mention: 2D Game Development: From Zero to Hero (Open Source E-Book) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-12
