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.
