### How can I learn to use raylib? Is there some official documentation or tutorials?
raylib does not provide a "standard" API reference documentation like other libraries, all of the raylib functionality is exposed in a simple [cheatsheet](https://www.raylib.com/cheatsheet/cheatsheet.html). Most of the functions are self-explanatory and the required parameters are very intuitive. It's also highly recommended to take a look to [`raylib.h`](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/blob/master/src/raylib.h) header file or even the source code, that is very clean and organized, intended for teaching.

raylib also provides a big [collection of examples](https://www.raylib.com/examples.html), to showcase the multiple functionality usage (+120 examples). Examples are categorized by the internal module functionality and also define an estimated level of difficulty to guide the users checking them.
There is also a [FAQ on the raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions) with common technical questions.
There are also many tutorials on the internet and YouTube created by the growing raylib community along the years.

### What does raylib provide that other engines or libraries don't?
I would say "simplicity" and "enjoyment" at a really low-level of coding but actually is up to the user to discover it, to try it and to see if it fits their needs. raylib is not good for everyone but it's worth a try.

### How does raylib compare to Unity/Unreal/Godot?
Those engines are usually big and complex to use, providing lot of functionality. They require some time to learn and test, they usually abstract many parts of the game development process and they usually provide a set of tools to assist users on their creations (like a GUI editor).
raylib is a simple programming library, with no integrated tools or editors. It gives full control to users at a very low-level to create graphics applications in a more handmade way.

### What development tools are required for raylib?
To develop raylib programs you only need a text editor (with recommended code syntax highlighting) and a compiler.
A [raylib Windows Installer](https://raysan5.itch.io/raylib) package is distributed including the Notepad++ editor and MinGW (GCC) compiler pre-configured for Windows for new users as an starter-pack but for more advance configurations with other editors/compilers, [raylib Wiki](https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki) provides plenty of configuration tutorials.

### What are raylib's external dependencies?
raylib is self-contained, it has no external dependencies to build it. But internally raylib uses several libraries from other developers, mostly used to load specific file-formats.

### What could I expect to see in raylib in the future?
The main focus of the library is simplicity. Most of the efforts are invested in maintainability and bug-fixing. Despite new small features are regularly added, it's not the objective for raylib to become a full-featured engine. Personally I prefer to keep it small and enjoyable.
