write your own god damn libraries. start with png and jpeg decoders. png is very simple.
Easton Lee
boost
Juan Peterson
bgfx + sdl + opengl
nice bait
Adrian Reyes
let me guess..
Levi White
raylib
Nolan Johnson
Fizzbuzz
Nicholas Wilson
how do I de/serialize json files
Justin Scott
Hudson Hughes
Just wait for C++29 reflection.
Ayden Fisher
That
If you're purpose is to learn stick with those
You're not going to make a real game without an engine bud

This is a joke OP. Do not boost.
For a simple 2D game SDL works well.
I use SDL with the STB libraries for help in 3D as well. I think Source used SDL for a while.
Note if you go this route you will be writing an engine.
Cocos is also a nice engine you can code right on top of.
C++ is also the scripting language for Unreal, if you don't want to make an engine.

Fastest JSON library that I know of

SIMDJSON for speed because you can. No idea what is the most ergonomic lib. Definitely not boost. Please don’t feed the troll who keeps shilling that POS in here.
Jackson Jackson
Jinx!
Charles Brooks
simdjson or rapidjson are definitely the fastest
but for ease of use I prefer nlohmann::json
Michael Brown
what's wrong with boost?
Eli Baker
Unreal engine. Otherwise, take you pick. You can literally choose any graphics, sound and physics libraries.
Hunter Hughes
You don't, use binary.

>I want to program a game in C++ with an engine
Unreal Engine or Godot. Pick one.
>I want to custom make an engine
SDL, SFML, or Raylib. Pick one. It'll give you graphics, audio, and controller inputs. Everything else you gotta do yourself.
>I want to make my own multiplatform library for graphics/audio/input
Don't.
