RGFW
A cross-platform, single-header C windowing library for creating windows and graphics contexts with minimal dependencies.
What is RGFW?
RGFW is a lightweight, single-header C library for creating and managing windows, graphics contexts, and input events across multiple platforms. It solves the problem of platform-specific windowing code by providing a unified, minimal API that works with various graphics APIs like OpenGL, Vulkan, and DirectX.
C/C++ developers building cross-platform graphical applications, games, or tools who need a simple, dependency-free windowing solution without the overhead of larger frameworks.
Developers choose RGFW for its extreme portability, single-header design, and lack of external dependencies, allowing full control over rendering while keeping the codebase small and easy to integrate or modify.
