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.
For making a 2d game from scratch in C++, I'd say that SFML would be my choice. It has sets of tutorials, example code listings, and some decent API documentation. It pulls together a lot of functionality that in other cases might have to be handled by separate libraries.
