Projects

Boost C++ Libraries

Boost was begun by members of the ISO C++ Standard committee Library Working Group to provide free peer-reviewed portable libraries to the C++ community. An additional objective is to establish "existing practice" and provide reference implementations so that the Boost libraries are ... [More] suitable for eventual standardization. Components successfully moved into draft ISO Standard C++09 include shared_ptr, regular expressions, function wrappers and binders. [Less]

Simple DirectMedia Layer

A cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. SDL supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code ... [More] contains unofficial support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, and Tcl.

Crazy Eddie's GUI System

A free library providing windowing and widgets for graphics APIs / engines where such functionality is not natively available, or severely lacking. The library is object orientated, written in C++, and targeted at games developers who should be spending their time creating great games, not building GUI sub-systems!

Apache Portable Runtime

claimed by Apache Software Foundation

The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of ... [More] predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features. [Less]

OpenTK

The Open Toolkit (OpenTK) is a free, fast, cross-platform C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenAL and OpenCL. The bindings are strongly-typed and contain inline documentation for improved security and coding speed. Additional utilities integrate the bindings with .Net, making OpenTK especially ... [More] suited to Rapid Application Development. OpenTK can be used alone or integrated into GUI toolkits, like Windows.Forms and GTK#. It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X without recompilation, is easy to deploy and is compatible with all .Net languages: C#, VB.Net, C++/CLI, F#, IronPython, Boo, ... [Less]

POCO C++ Libraries

The POCO C++ Libraries (POCO stands for POrtable COmponents) are open source C++ class libraries that simplify and accelerate the development of network-centric, portable applications in C++. The libraries integrate perfectly with the C++ Standard Library and fill many of the functional gaps left ... [More] open by it. Their modular and efficient design and implementation makes the POCO C++ Libraries extremely well suited for embedded development, an area where the C++ programming language is becoming increasingly popular, due to its suitability for both low-level (device I/O, interrupt handlers, etc.) and high-level object-oriented development. Of course, the POCO C++ Libraries are also ready for enterprise-level challenges. [Less]

OpenSync

OpenSync is a synchronization framework that is platform and distribution independent. It consists of a powerful sync-engine and several plugins that can be used to connect to devices. OpenSync is very flexible and capable of synchronizing any type of data, including contacts, calendar, tasks, notes and files.

dlib C++ Library

This project is a modern C++ library with a focus on portability and program correctness. It strives to be easy to use right and hard to use wrong. Thus, it comes with extensive documentation and thorough debugging modes. The library provides a platform abstraction layer for common tasks such as ... [More] interfacing with network services, handling threads, or creating graphical user interfaces. Additionally, the library implements many useful algorithms such as data compression routines, linked lists, binary search trees, linear algebra and matrix utilities, machine learning algorithms, XML and text parsing, and many other general utilities. [Less]

MESS - Multi Emulator Super System

MESS is a MAME-based project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS allows software and games for these hardware ... [More] platforms to be run on modern PCs. The goal of MESS is total accuracy to the original hardware behaviour, which is achieved through low-level emulation of all hardware components (video chips, CPUs, etc.), the implementations of which are shared across all emulated systems using the generic MAME architecture.

MOSA Project

The Managed Operating System Alliance (MOSA) Framework is a set of operating system components, compiler tools and libraries for managed operating systems based on the Common Intermediate Language and .NET technology. We provide the foundation for other projects, such as SharpOS.
