raylib
A simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.

raylib is a free and open-source C programming library designed for game development with no external dependencies. It supports multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and HTML5, with hardware-accelerated graphics via OpenGL. The library emphasizes simplicity and a code-first approach, offering over 120 examples and bindings for more than 60 programming languages.
Developers include the raylib C library in their projects and use its minimalistic API — guided by a cheatsheet and examples — to handle graphics, audio, input, and more across multiple platforms.
