Epic funds next-gen SDL API for Vulkan

• bgfx

  71 14,323 9.3 C++

  Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.

It seems they are going to duplicate the efforts from bgfx (https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx)

• wgpu

  197 10,995 9.9 Rust

  Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.

  

Personally I never got into SDL, even though I’ve tried to use it a couple of times. But I’ve been using wgpu recently, which gets translated into Vulkan, Metal, Direct3D 12, Direct3D 11 or depending your platform, and I like it so far.

https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu

I used the guide at https://sotrh.github.io/learn-wgpu/ as a starting point and built the thing I wanted to build. And now I have an application that I can run on my MacBook Pro M1 laptop where it uses Metal, and on my Linux desktop where it uses Vulkan.

• winit

  48 4,429 9.6 Rust

  Window handling library in pure Rust

  

I agree wgpu is great, but wgpu isn't a substitute for SDL. The Rust project that replaces SDL is called winit

https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit

One can use wgpu with winit (which is more common) or, if they prefer, wgpu with sdl2. Here is an example:

• rust-sdl2

  33 2,617 6.9 Rust

  SDL2 bindings for Rust

  Vulkan Validation Layers (VVL)

  

• SDL

  195 8,263 10.0 C

  Simple Directmedia Layer

  

... apparently I was mistaken, this hasn't been released yet, it will be out with 2.0.18[0]
