    Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies

    I absolutely agree with C++/OpenGL/GLFW. I would add Dear Imgui for ui, GLM for math. Bonus: CMake is great if you want to have a clean project that you can share on github. And you can use the CLion IDE which is awsome for C++. I have been making an engine myself with a similar setup that you can checkout here.

  • SFML

    Simple and Fast Multimedia Library

    If you don't want to use an engine, but you don't want to go into OS specific stuff: https://www.sfml-dev.org/ https://github.com/ocornut/imgui

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • DarkReign3

    Discontinued Dark Reign 3 is a video game based on the original title DarkReign 2
