Beside SDL, is there an easier way to just show a custom rectangle with text, cross-platform?

  1. cimgui

    c-api for imgui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) Look at: https://github.com/cimgui for other widgets

    I would recommend C bindings for the Dear ImGui (https://github.com/cimgui/cimgui)

  2. InfluxDB

  3. raylib

    A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming

    You can just use raylib, if SDL is too much.

  4. scratch

    Personal scratch code

    As was linked from my QOI article, here's my full decoder with comments: qoi.c. Each pixel decodes to a 32-bit integer, ABGR. That corresponds to SDL's SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ABGR8888. SDL_UpdateTexture copies that data into the texture's internal storage, and font is no longer needed. (In a real program I'd allocate it in a scratch arena, reset after initialization.)

  5. refterm

    Reference monospace terminal renderer
