ÜberLame is an extreme programming framework, written in C ++. The main focus was on quick application prototyping (You need e.g. a web-enabled service? It will take about 30 minutes to implement it with ÜberLame) and on compatibility (only basic C ++ features are used).

It's still under heavy development and the interface tends to change from time to time (the changes are seldom, always documented and a great care is taken so that the old code either works without crashing at run time, or it does not compile, requiring programmer attention).

There are convenient wrapper classes for OpenGL / OpenGL ES: contexts, extensions, shaders, textures, buffer objects (vertex / pixel / frame) and more.

Support for GPGPU using CUDA / OpenCL is naturally included (also, there is an OpenCL emulator of CUDA, enabling you to make CUDA code work on non-NVIDIA hardware with minimal effort).

And there are some geometry / modelling tools, 3ds importer, os independent socket class, os independent thread class, along with the basic synchronization primitives, HTTP client / server, some image processing functions, fast XML parser, data compression functions, fast implementation of some common hash functions and many more.

ÜberLame can be compiled on Windows using Visual Studio, or on linux / mac using g++ (with -ansi -W -Wall -pedantic, if you need threads, throw in -pthread for the link step). It is compatible with the new x64 machines (and even compiles without warnings, mostly) and can run on Android phones as native code. Visual Studio sometimes warns about using "unsafe" CRT functions, but there was much effort to use these in a safe way so it's ok.
