Echlib

A C++ library designed to help beginners start making games.
An easy-to-use and open-source game development library.

• NOTE: I restarted Echlib from scratch because the previous version was messy, unoptimized, and difficult to extend. This new version features cleaner code and better performance, making it easier to build upon.

Features

✔️ Implemented | ❌ Planned / Under Consideration

• ✅ Rendering System (Textures, Shapes)
