This project

This project aims to bring the Hackles comic strip to new audiences, while being a side-project I like working on to improve my programming skills. I used to read this comic in Brazilian Portuguese, translated by Marcelo Toscani Brandão, back in 2011, at the defunct tirinhas.com website. The icons used in the navigation buttons were retrieved from tirinhas.com as a tribute to the website that introduced me to this comic strip.

All the strips in this repository were retrieved from the archived hackles.org website.

The application presented here it's written in C and uses the Raylib library to do all the graphical stuff. Raylib is a simple and ease-to-use library that is used to make videogames.
