Manually tweaked, auto generated raylib bindings for zig.
Bindings tested on raylib version 4.5.0-dev and Zig 0.10.1
Thanks to @jessrud, @mbcrocci, @franciscod, @AlxHnr, @Gertkeno, @Ivan-Velickovic, @alanoliveira, @rcorre and @sacredbirdman for their contributions to this binding.
The binding currently only supports a subset of raylib. For more information read here.
We can copy the default example with some minor changes:
const rl = @import("raylib");
pub fn main() anyerror!void {
// Initialization
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
const screenWidth = 800;
const screenHeight = 450;
rl.InitWindow(screenWidth, screenHeight, "MyWindow");
rl.SetTargetFPS(60); // Set our game to run at 60 frames-per-second
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Main game loop
while (!rl.WindowShouldClose()) { // Detect window close button or ESC key
// Update
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// TODO: Update your variables here
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Draw
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rl.BeginDrawing();
rl.ClearBackground(rl.WHITE);
rl.DrawText("Congrats! You created your first window!", 190, 200, 20, rl.LIGHTGRAY);
rl.EndDrawing();
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
}
// De-Initialization
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rl.CloseWindow(); // Close window and OpenGL context
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
}Due to zig being a relatively new language it does not have full C ABI support at the moment. For use that mainly means we can't use any functions that return structs that are less than 16 bytes large.
To build all available examples simply zig build examples. To list available examples run zig build --help. If you want to run an example, say basic_window run zig build basic_window
- (Optional) Install raylib
- Execute
project_setup.sh project_name, this will create a folder with the name specified - You can copy that folder anywhere you want and edit the source
- Run
zig build runat any time to test your project
I plan on updating it every mayor release (2.5, 3.0, etc.). Keep in mind these are technically header files, so any implementation stuff should be updatable with some hacks on your side.
- (Done) Set up a proper package build and a build script for the examples
- Port all the examples
- Object orientation
