GLFW

What is GLFW?

The GLFW library offers a versatile platform for developing OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and Vulkan-based applications across various desktop environments. It provides a straightforward application programming interface for managing windows, graphics contexts, and user input events, enabling developers to focus on the core functionality of their projects without the need to handle complex low-level system-specific tasks

Highlights

• Multi-platform support: GLFW works seamlessly across different desktop operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux
• OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and Vulkan compatibility: The library supports the development of applications using these industry-standard graphics APIs
• Window and context management: GLFW simplifies the process of creating and configuring windows and graphics contexts, reducing the complexity of setup tasks
• Input handling: The library offers a consistent interface for receiving and processing user input events, such as keyboard, mouse, and gamepad input.
