SDL bgi is a graphics library (GRAPHICS.H) for C, C++, WebAssembly, and Python. It's based on SDL2 / SDL3 and it's portable on many platforms.
SDL_bgi is functionally compatible with the original BGI in Turbo C and Borland C++, and also with another implementation, WinBGIm.
In addition, SDL_bgi provides extensions for ARGB colours, mouse support, vector fonts, and multiple windows.

Features

easy graphics in C, C++, WebAssembly, and Python
high GRAPHICS.H compatibility
portable to all systems that run SDL2 / SDL3

SDL_GameControllerDB
A community sourced database of game controller mappings
Boxxx Engine
Boxxx Engine is a very simple 2D engine written purely in C language. This code uses BGI graphic library and is compiled with Borland Turbo C 2.0. The goal of this project is to come up with a physically complex yet simple in principle 2D engine. The release is without any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
SDL2_gfx
Library containing 20+ graphics primitives (line, box, circle, polygon
Win32 BGI implementation
An implementation of old BGI library(simple graphics library) (that was included in TurboC++, BorlandC++) for Microsoft Windows for use with MinGW/MSVC(6,2002,2003 2005). The main feature is good debugging support.
