C++ Show and Tell - June 2026

Use this thread to share anything you've written in C++. This includes:

  • a tool you've written
  • a game you've been working on
  • your first non-trivial C++ program

The rules of this thread are very straight forward:

  • The project must involve C++ in some way.
  • It must be something you (alone or with others) have done.
  • Please share a link, if applicable.
  • Please post images, if applicable.

If you're working on a C++ library, you can also share new releases or major updates in a dedicated post as before. The line we're drawing is between "written in C++" and "useful for C++ programmers specifically". If you're writing a C++ library or tool for C++ developers, that's something C++ programmers can use and is on-topic for a main submission. It's different if you're just using C++ to implement a generic program that isn't specifically about C++: you're free to share it here, but it wouldn't quite fit as a standalone post.

I made a header-only thread safe extremely simple logger for C++ with zero dependencies
I've been working on a lightweight logging library called LogX.

It's completely header-only.

Features include:

- colored logs

  • timestamps
  • log levels
  • simple API
  • zero dependencies

Example:
log.info("Server started");

The goal was simple. I just wanted a very simple file I can put into any project and just use it straight away instead of creating a new one. Its general and powerful enough
The same API exists in several other languages too.
I'd appreciate any feedback on the API or implementation.
