fatalgl

fatalgl is a graphics library for the C programming language. It aims to provide a simple and efficient API for creating 2D and 3D graphics. The library is designed to be cross-platform, supporting various operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its primary focus is on ease of use for developers, abstracting away much of the complexity associated with low-level graphics programming.

The library handles tasks like window creation, rendering primitives, texture management, and basic lighting. It can be used for a variety of applications, including game development, visualizations, and interactive applications. fatalgl is often chosen by developers who need a straightforward way to integrate graphics capabilities into their projects without a steep learning curve.

While not as comprehensive as some of the more established graphics APIs, fatalgl offers a good balance between functionality and simplicity. It allows developers to get up and running with graphical output relatively quickly. The project is typically open-source, encouraging community contributions and allowing users to inspect and modify the source code. Its design principles emphasize performance where possible, without sacrificing the goal of an accessible API.
