## What it is
A curated collection of open-source C/C++ libraries for game development, organized by category such as system foundations, math, rendering, audio, networking, physics, ECS, and asset management. It serves as a discovery index linking to individual libraries rather than being a library itself.

## Use cases
- find a C++ math library for a game engine
- discover open source physics libraries for games
- look up C libraries for game audio
- find ECS frameworks written in C or C++
- compare rendering libraries for gamedev
- find single-header C libraries for game development
- locate mesh processing and asset import libraries

## When to choose
- you are building a game or engine in C or C++ and want to survey available open-source libraries
- you want a categorized starting point for gamedev library discovery
- you prefer lightweight, often single-header C/C++ libraries

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool or framework rather than a list of links
- you work in a language other than C or C++
- you need guaranteed maintenance status or licensing details for each listed library

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: game-engine, graphics, math, audio-processing, networking, serialization, developer-tools
- domain: awesome-lists, graphics, cross-platform
- platform: cpp, c, cross-platform
