  • openmv

    An open source metroidvania engine.

  • Superstar-Game-Suite

    A top-down 2D game creation suite for platforming, world building, and story telling.

    I've made several game editors, this being the most notable one (imo). Unfortunately, that was not written in C++, but I think some of the principles stand in the general case.

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • ELFkickers

    A collection of programs that access and manipulate ELF files.

    If you're really determined to put everything in the binary, ELF Kickers has a handy CLI utility for it. You could also use the #embed reference compiler, but here be dragons.

  • embed

  • flecs

    A fast entity component system (ECS) for C & C++

    If that didn't make much sense, Flecs (C99 w/C++ bindings) is a popular implementation with a lot of accompanying educational material about ECS in general, a glossary, and tons of example code to help make it learnable. Entt (C++17) is another very popular one that some users have told me they prefer due to its simplicity.
