Corange
A pure C game engine and framework for cross-platform 2D/3D game development with modern graphics features.
What is Corange?
Corange is a pure C game engine and framework designed for cross-platform 2D and 3D game development. It provides modern graphics capabilities like deferred rendering, shadow mapping, and skeletal animation while maintaining a simple, low-level approach. The engine serves as both a practical tool for building games and a platform for experimenting with graphics techniques.
Developers and graphics programmers interested in game development with C, those seeking a lightweight alternative to heavier C++ engines, and individuals wanting to practice C programming while building graphical applications.
Corange offers a rare pure C implementation in a field dominated by C++ engines, providing direct access to OpenGL and SDL without abstraction overhead. Its framework-like design gives developers fine-grained control, making it ideal for learning, experimentation, and projects where simplicity and performance are priorities.
