  • 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)

  • raylib

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

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

  • 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.)

  • refterm

    Reference monospace terminal renderer
