  • GLFW

    A multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, window and input

  • SDL is great, yes. I just want to mention that glfw is also an option if you're using OpenGL or Vulkan. I used it this time around because I had used SDL in the past for another engine and had the desire to use something different for no other reason than exposure. Things aren't very different and I don't think switching from one to another would be hard. It depends on implementation of course, as always.

  • 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.
