### Dynamic bindings
I have attempted to do CFFI ABI dynamic bindings too in order to avoid the need to compile a C extension module,
but they don't work properly. They fail in the same place the ctypes binding fails, accessing
materials of a model, because Python can't dynamically tell the difference between a pointer and an array. There's probably
some way to specify this (e.g. in raylib_modified.h) but it's difficult to be sure we fixed them all because the errors
are often completely silent.
See test_dynamic.py for the non-working example.
In addition to the API static bindings I have attempted to do CFFI ABI dynamic bindings in order to avoid the need to compile a C extension module.
There have been some weird failures with dynamic bindings and ctypes bindings before and often the failures are silent
so you dont even know. Also the static bindings should be faster. Therefore I recommend the static ones...
BUT the dynamic bindings have the big advantage that you don't need to compile anything to install.
See test_dynamic.py for how to use them.
