raylib-go

Golang bindings for raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to learn videogames programming.

Requirements

• GLFW is included as part of the Go package, but you need to make sure you have dependencies installed, see below.

Ubuntu

apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxrandr-dev

Fedora

dnf install mesa-libGL-devel libXi-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel

macOS

On macOS you need Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode.

Windows

On Windows you need C compiler, like Mingw-w64 or TDM-GCC. You can also build binary in MSYS2 shell.

Android

Android example.

Raspberry Pi

RPi example.

Installation

go get -v -u github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/raylib

Build tags

• noaudio - disables audio functions
• opengl21 - uses OpenGL 2.1 backend (default is 3.3 on desktop)
• opengl11 - uses OpenGL 1.1 backend (pseudo OpenGL 1.1 style)
• wayland - builds against Wayland libraries

Documentation

Documentation on GoDoc. Also check raylib cheatsheet.

Example

package main

import "github.com/gen2brain/raylib-go/raylib"

func main() {
	raylib.InitWindow(800, 450, "raylib [core] example - basic window")

	raylib.SetTargetFPS(60)

	for !raylib.WindowShouldClose() {
		raylib.BeginDrawing()

		raylib.ClearBackground(raylib.RayWhite)

		raylib.DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, raylib.LightGray)

		raylib.EndDrawing()
	}

	raylib.CloseWindow()
}
