I'm searching for an application written in C++ with a neat codebase, to learn from and maybe even contribute to it. A lot of applications written in C++ are either very large or doing some really advanced stuff, which is just the domain of C++.
A good candidate of size and shape would be something like pacman and libalpm from Archlinux, but it is written in plain C, not C++. WebKit is just far to big and Protobuf is looking awkward. Gnote looks to be a good starting point and I'm also using GNOME, but I wasn't sure about it because it offers a GUI. Which brings me back to pacman; I'm already using it myself and it doesn't distract with stuff like a GUI.
So I decided to look for something small and sane, which offers a CLI and which I can use myself. I opened the search of github with the terms note + c++ + stars and the result is taskwarrior. A brief look on the source of task(warrior) looks promising.
Do you know a neat project which written in C++?
Thanks

I'm studying physics and I know C++ at a basic level. at my study it's sometimes really useful to create a program which can graphicly represent some data or do calculations and then graphicly represent them. I read that, for example, to be able to master the basics of openGL I would need to do a 10 week long course of openGL. But that is too much time.
I'm wondering if there are any libraries available (for windows) which allow me to do some easy stuff like:
-DrawPixel(x,y,color)
-DrawCircle/Line/Shape/Polygon([list of points])/Triangle/Square (+rotation)
-DrawImage(filename,width,height,etc...)
-DrawText()
Is there any library which has this easyness? It would be really cool because if I do something (create a program) and I need to explain my team (who have never programmed) how I have done it (the program / results), this would make it much easier to explain!
I looked at SDL, HGE, OpenFrameworks (somewhat the "closest" yet still far away) and a few other popular libraries but they are all so far away.. why is there no such easy library?
Are there any available which are just not being found with the keywords i search in google?
I would suggest that you take a look at cinder. Try out the Hello Cinder tutorial. I think you will find it supports your needs by providing an abstraction layer above DirectX or OpenGL.

I am new to C++. I am using CodeBlock for development.
As a learning exercise I want to write chess game with UI.
Can someone help me in identifying what tool and library I would need to for showing a chess board GUI
what algorithm I need to read to implement chess rules ?
any else I need to know ...
There are plenty of GUI-toolkits, GTK and Qt come to mind as two. See How do I build a GUI in C++? for more suggestions.
Or if you want to do the board "by-hand" then you might want to try SDL.
As for chess algorithms, it depends what you're looking for. A chess AI? A way to compute if someone is in check/checkmate? I think it might be more interesting to try and come up with your own first, then look around at others. Although if you just want some suggestions or reading material, then this and this looks promising.

I recently ditched C# for C++ because I enjoy coding in it much more.
However, I really do miss Windows Forms and how simple it was to create windows, buttons, etc.
Are there any good C++ libraries out there similar to .NET windows forms? I CAN use C++/CLI, but it bugs me that there isn't any intellisense in Visual Studio!
You may want to look at Qt. I find that the signals and slots is a fairly simple concept to pick up if you're used to Windows Forms.
I would recommend you Qt. It has got great documentation and it is really simple to learn and use. Also it has huge abilities. For example Google Earth was using it :) Here some more informations.
Try wxWidgets. It compiles on many differnt plattforms and in contrast to Qt features native widgets, significantly imporving usability.

I'm looking at MeVisLab's interface for generating views of data and I find that that way of viewing control structures is extremely intuitive.
It is especially the connected boxes I'm liking, is there any kind of framework that supplies this sort of interface. I know it can be done using Qt but beleave it takes ALOT of work.
Does anyone know of frameworks for making this type of gui?
This is not c++, but i think it covers your problem, so i would suggest WireIt.
Examples:
http://neyric.github.com/wireit/plugins/editor/examples/logicGates/index.html
http://neyric.github.com/wireit/plugins/composable/examples/jsBox/jsBox.html
It is a Java Script library, so the browser would be your GUI. But i really think, that using the browser is a good thing to do. Learning HTML, CSS and Java Script is about as difficult as learning a new GUI framework. You could concentrate on HTML5 and ignore old browsers and maybe use a nice lib like jQuery, which is like the boost of js. Even if your GUI would only work on Firefox you would still support more platforms than most GUI-Toolkits.
You would of course have to embed a small http-server in your c++ code, you could use libmicrohttpd or mongoose for that.
In the end you have used tools that are very reusable and will have a broader applicability than GUI Frameworks.

What is a really good Windows, C++, UI library, framework, or tool that will allow me to very simply and easily add a slick look & feel to my native C++ win32 application?
Also;
Slick means skinnable with window background images, fancy buttons, shadows, all that jazz.
This is non-MFC
Supporting Windows XP and beyond
Royalty free licensing (we expect a lot of installs)
VS2008
Qt has all you are asking for.
Another library you might consider is WTL. Open source + small binary footprint = was good for a large number of downloads and installs.
Another possibility you might want to consider is Ultimate++.
Thanks to Scott Hanselman, I have heard of Hilo, even though it looks like its for Windows 7 or newer.
