GLFW Description

GLFW is an open source, multi-platform library for OpenGL application development that provides a powerful API for handling operating system specific tasks such as opening an OpenGL window, reading keyboard, mouse, joystick and time input, creating threads, and more. You can find a top level makefile in the root folder of GLFW, which is designed to work with several compilers. If you simply enter the GLFW root directory in a shell and type make (or nmake, mingw32-make, gnumake, gmake or something else, depending on your development envronment), and a list should appear with the currently supported options for systems and compilers. Main features: Very easy to use API (similar to the OpenGL API) No system specific code necessary Open an OpenGL window with one call Good fullscreen support Keyboard, mouse and joystick input Unicode keyboard character input High-precision timer Multi threading support Texture loading support (from Targa image files) Near 100% compatibility between supported platforms It's Open Source with a liberal license Support for most popular C/C++ compilers Support for Delphi, Visual Basic, MASM32, Lua and D Comprehensive documentation, with a User's Guide, Reference Manual, tutorials and examples Can link either statically or dynamically with your application It's still small (Under 60KB on all platforms)
