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, andHTML5currently with plans to addUWP,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.
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};
