Open Source C Libraries for Linux

raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework. Do you want to see all functions available in raylib? Check raylib cheatsheet. raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no auto-debugging, just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way. raylib has received several recognitions in the last years and many people have written about the library. Here there are the main awards received from Google and Epic Games. raylib supports multiple target platforms, it has been tested in the following platforms but, technically, any platform that supports C language and OpenGL graphics is valid for raylib or can be very easily ported to. raylib can be combined with several extra libraries for additional functionality, some of those libraries are already used internally while others are provided for user integration, most of these libraries are single-file header-only with no external dependencies.

Orx is a portable, lightweight, plugin-based, data-driven and extremely easy to use 2D-oriented game engine. As orx is data driven, it allows users to create games with a small number of lines of code and reduces drastically the development time.

2licht's aim is to provide a collection of wrappers for the popular Irrlicht Engine (http://irrlicht.sf.net/). It is still in development; the first wrappers to be released will be the C and Object Pascal interface; followed by a .NET library.

Ray3d is a multi-platform 3d game engine with an entire FPS game for it's techdemo. It's based on Irrlicht and other open source libraries, and written in C/C++. It is in pre-alpha and under HEAVY development.
