A little bit off topic, but what are the best libraries for drawing simple graphics like this? I've been looking into making a small graphics project and I'm not sure which is the best to use. It only needs to draw basic shapes like ellipses, or rectangles, or just specific pixels. I've been looking into SDL2, as that seems relatively popular and portable, but I'm curious to see if there's any other libraries that are recommended.
- sfifs 8y agoWhile this may seem heretical to many, why not consider SVG or HTML5 canvas? Widely supported, Ultra portable and very readable code unless you are looking for stuff that needs fancy acceleration.
- feiss 8y agoHtml Canvas is easy and accessible for anybody, a safe choice. If you look for something native and accelerated, the best thing I found is Tigr https://bitbucket.org/rmitton/tigr/src https://bitbucket.org/rmitton/tigr/src I really miss 486 days, when all you needed to paint pixels on screen full speed was 2 ASM instructions and writing to video memory. Full freedom and creativity without any technical barrier.
