muffin

Cross-platform, 2D graphics API for C++11. Example of it running: https://youtu.be/R5oBCfQPgrg

QA

Why?

I created muffin mostly for an alternative on making graphics without the low-level scary things.
And no, I don't made this as a replacement for any graphical API's out there. I made this for fun and as a personal utility, and then decided to share it.

Is it hard?

Actually no! Mostly of the stuff here can be done by a newbie. For example, drawing a red rectangle literally takes 2 lines, see:

muffin::graphics::setcolor(255, 0, 0, 255); // Sets the current color as opaque red
muffin::graphics::drawrect(5, 10, 50, 60);  // Draws a rectangle at the position x = 5, y = 10, and with the size of 50x60

Does it support consoles?

No. I don't have money for a developer license or something.

Does it support C?

Currently not, planning on porting it actually.

How do I start?

See "Compiling".

Dependencies

• SDL2 (plain SDL, SDL_image, SDL_ttf and SDL_mixer)
• Doxygen (optional, only used for documentation)

Compiling

Be ensure that you have all the dependencies, and then to build it, simply run:

make all

And if you are in a linux based system, you can install automatically using this:

make install
