An easy-to-use cross-platform 2D game library for C++ supporting desktop, mobile, console, and web platforms.
What is JNGL?
JNGL is a cross-platform 2D game library for C++ that simplifies game development across desktop, mobile, console, and web platforms. It provides an easy-to-use API for graphics, input, audio, and window management while handling platform-specific details automatically. The library enables developers to write game logic once and deploy to multiple targets including Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and web browsers.
C++ developers creating 2D games who need to target multiple platforms without rewriting platform-specific code. Ideal for indie game developers, hobbyists, and educators looking for a straightforward game development framework.
JNGL offers a simpler alternative to heavier game engines while providing true cross-platform support that includes consoles and web targets. Its minimal API reduces learning curve compared to more complex engines, and the CMake-based build system simplifies multi-platform deployment.
