raylib is a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.

raylib is highly inspired by Borland BGI graphics lib and by XNA framework and it's especially well suited for prototyping, tooling, graphical applications, embedded systems and education.

NOTE for ADVENTURERS: raylib is a programming library to enjoy videogames programming; no fancy interface, no visual helpers, no debug button... just coding in the most pure spartan-programmers way.

basic example

This is a basic raylib example, it creates a window and draws the text "Congrats! You created your first window!" in the middle of the screen. Check this example running live on web here.

#include "raylib.bi"

InitWindow(800, 450, "raylib [core] example - basic window")

while (not WindowShouldClose())

    BeginDrawing()
        ClearBackground(RAYWHITE)
        DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, LIGHTGRAY)
    EndDrawing()
wend

CloseWindow()

build and installation

raylib binary releases for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and HTML5 are available at the Github Releases page. This repository includes windows 32/64 bit binaries with each release or the mingw ones from the main raylib repository can be used.

learning and docs

raylib is designed to be learned using the examples as the main reference. There is no standard API documentation but there is a cheatsheet containing all the functions available on the library a short description of each one of them, input parameters and result value names should be intuitive enough to understand how each function works.

Some additional documentation about raylib design can be found in raylib GitHub Wiki. Here are the relevant links:
