Cute Headers
A collection of single-file, dependency-free C/C++ libraries for game development and low-level programming.
What is Cute Headers?
cute_headers is a collection of single-file, dependency-free C/C++ libraries primarily aimed at game developers and low-level programmers. It provides modular solutions for common tasks like 2D collision detection, networking, sound playback, sprite batching, and asset parsing, all packaged as easy-to-integrate headers. The project solves the problem of bloated dependencies and complex build systems by offering self-contained libraries that can be dropped into any C/C++ project.
Game developers, embedded systems programmers, and C/C++ enthusiasts who need lightweight, portable libraries for graphics, audio, networking, or synchronization without external dependencies.
Developers choose cute_headers for its zero-dependency design, single-file simplicity, and focus on performance-critical use cases. Unlike larger frameworks, it offers modular, composable libraries that avoid build system headaches and keep compile times fast.
