The minimalistic 2D game library: libcig-a

[curvedinfinity]

Hey Everyone,
If you have been reading the Game forum, I recently released a new cross-platform game called Finity Flight II, which has been quite a hit.

Anyway, many people had a lot of interest in the graphics of the game, because they are quite nice for a 2D game, so I decided to release the library I made to make the game under the LGPL. The library is about as simple as it gets -- you won't even need documentation to understand how it works (even though I will post some sample aps soon).

Here's a link:

I just updated the package with two demo aps -- here is a screenshot from one (this is running at 120+ FPS on my computer)

Interesting, site bookmarked for the time when I start 2d game programming. Shouldn't be to far into the future I hope. I love simple and minimalistic stuff so this should fit right me. :)

btw tried your game, it's great! Love those type of scrollers. Looking forward to the next episode. :KS

Hmm, seems cool to me. I hope I can use it in a c++ application for a simulator.

Hey, I just published a tutorial to get libcig-a all setup in Ubuntu/Anjuta. Here is the link:

And by the way Zdravko, you can probably find some useful things in the source for a simulator. The code is very compact and has some decent implementations of very useful techniques.

I hope that this library is:
1. Fast
2. Platform independent

Well, the download page answers both of those questions, and both are yes.

Just updated the library with a very nice minimalistic GUI and keybinding system.
