Gunslinger is a header-only c99 framework for multimedia applications.

• Header-only: drag-drop into any project without any additional compiling required.
• All externals included in the framework itself.
• Simple API inspired by sokol headers.
• Provides core framework for quickly developing multimedia applications: Platform, Graphics, Audio layers.
• Provides custom utilities for math and generic data structures.
• Optional helper utilties are provided, such as OpenGL 2.0-style Immediate-Mode Rendering, Asset Management System, Physics Util, Immediate Mode GUI, Graphics Extensions, and a Meta Data Reflection Utility.
• Supports a growing list of platforms: Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, and HTML5 currently with plans to add UWP, RPI, IOS.
• Graphics pipeline follows an explicit rendering framework, making it easier to write for modern backends, such as Vulkan/DX12/Metal.
• All core layers can be fully swapped out with custom user implementations.
• Large collection of examples for quickly getting started.
• An available project template for various platforms and build systems to get started with a blank gunslinger project.
• Official framework used for all Game Engineering YouTube videos.

• Official Documentation (Docsforge)
• Online Sample Repo
• Getting Started
• Graphics
• Containers
• Examples

A simple c99 'Hello World' example using gunslinger:

#define GS_IMPL
#include <gs.h>

gs_app_desc_t gs_main(int32_t argc, char** argv)
{
   return (gs_app_desc_t){0};
}
