Introduction

This library(SGG) aims to provide a simple interface for students to include basic graphics, audio and interaction functionality in their applications written in C and C++.SGG offers an abstraction and simplification layer over SDL, OpenGL and other core windowing, graphics and audio libraries, providing a clear, simple and hasle - free programming interface to build from simple interactive applications to 2D computer games and data visualization tools.

Features

SGG provides the following features and functionality: +Simple library for C / C++ applications with a graphical interface

• Basic window handling and event processing
• Full mouse and keyboard input event handling
• Hardware accelerated support for graphics output(OpenGL 3.3 support or better is required)
• Font rendering with easy support for multiple TrueType fonts
• Simple yet powerful support for vector graphics, including gradient fills and transparency
