Is there a way in OpenGL to draw 2D images without unnecessary transformations (immediately in screen coordinates)?

Question

C++ / C#

Hello. I want to write a 2D game in C / C ++, the choice fell on OpenGL. Obviously, one of the first questions for me was the issue of rendering 2d sprites. The ways that I found are that we create a rectangle in world coordinates and draw a texture on it. As far as I understand, between setting the texture and displaying it on the screen, there will be a single-scale transformation and zero rotation, and then a translation from world coordinates to screen coordinates. I want to immediately draw in screen coordinates. Is it possible to do this in OpenGL or should I look for another graphics api?

Answer 1

glDrawPixels

Answer 2

What is the problem with conversion? Create an orthographic matrix to fit the window and draw sprites already with it.
