Gunslinger is a header-only c99 framework for multimedia applications.

Features

Header-only: drag-drop into any project without any additional compiling required.
All externals included in the framework itself.
Simple API inspired by sokol headers.
Provides core framework for quickly developing multimedia applications: Platform, Graphics, Audio layers.
Provides custom utilities for math and generic data structures.
Optional helper utilties are provided, such as OpenGL 2.0-style Immediate-Mode Rendering, Asset Management System, Physics Util, Immediate Mode GUI, Graphics Extensions, and a Meta Data Reflection Utility.
Supports a growing list of platforms: Windows, OSX, Linux, Android, and HTML5 currently with plans to add UWP, RPI, IOS.
Graphics pipeline follows an explicit rendering framework, making it easier to write for modern backends, such as Vulkan/DX12/Metal.
All core layers can be fully swapped out with custom user implementations.
Large collection of examples for quickly getting started.
An available project template for various platforms and build systems to get started with a blank gunslinger project.
Official framework used for all Game Engineering YouTube videos.

A simple c99 ‘Hello World’ example using gunslinger:

#define GS_IMPL
#include <gs.h>

gs_app_desc_t gs_main(int32_t argc, char** argv)
{
   return (gs_app_desc_t){0};
}
