MLX42 is a modern C graphics and windowing library built on top of GLFW and inspired by the original MLX library used in 42 school projects. It aims to provide a higher-level, beginner-friendly abstraction for students learning about graphical programming, while also embracing modern practices like event-driven input, texture rendering, and transparency. MLX42 is structured to reduce boilerplate and simplify the creation of games or interactive applications in C, making it an excellent learning and teaching tool for graphics programming fundamentals.

Features

  • Built on GLFW for modern OpenGL windowing and input
  • Simple C API for drawing textures, text, and images
  • Event-based keyboard and mouse input handling
  • Window management with fullscreen and resizing support
  • Transparent images and texture alpha blending
  • Custom font rendering and pixel manipulation
  • Support for sound playback using custom backends
  • Lightweight with minimal dependencies and fast build times
  • Ideal for 42 school graphics projects and learning environments
