   Raylib, a hidden Powerhouse

   I got to know Raylib just a few days ago taking a course on learning C++ to start using Unreal Engine. I have a background with assembler(a long time ago), Python/Pygame, C#/Monogame, and Unity/C#. Within the few days I used it, I am simply blown away by the simplicity but yet extremely powerful Raylib library. The routines and functions are very clear and access is very simple. Everything is well documented. I am yet to go in-depth with the library but I never had such an experience in the past building games, which is my main interest. If you stumbled upon this by chance stop and give it a go. You'll never regret it. Right now I am thinking of the many ways I can use this with the languages I know.

   🏁 Competitors: MonoGame, Pygame

• Immediate Mode GUI Programming

  The Dear ImGui readme is a good starting point: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui ...now of course Dear ImGui is a specific implementation of an immediate mode UI framework, but it's also the most popular implementation. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Where do I start to learn C++ for a game development

  Bonus: If you want to make desktop app with UI, then this is another great C++ library and it's also simple to learn as well. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui. Source: 6 months ago

• M2TW Engine Overhaul project just dropped an autosorting and battle camera update!

  Create your own GUIs and overlays using the popular ImGUI. Source: 7 months ago

• Unheard Engine: Adding spot lights, HDR support, compilation-free parameter node in material graph.

  There are also misc bugfixes, editor changes this time. But I'm a bit tired of win32 and plan to port Dear Imgui afterward. Or leave a comment if you have a good idea about the GUI! I'd like to be focus on the runtime rendering more and keep GUI programming as simple as possible. Source: 9 months ago

• Textual Web: TUIs for the Web

  > [...] you can build UIs that are snappy and keyboard driven. That's not an advantage that is exclusive to TUIs; after all, you're running your TUI inside a graphical application that emulates a terminal. (Unless you're rocking an actual VT102, in which case I bow down to you.) In fact there's an entire class of applications that are extremely snappy and keyboard driven, by their very nature: games. Some people... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Are there any game engines that support 3D that are more code orientated?

  It sounds like you're maybe asking for code frameworks/libraries instead of engines? Something like https://raylib.com/ might be better suited? Source: over 1 year ago

• How can I make graphics games using cpp?

  I would recommend SFML or Raylib, they're both excellent and fairly easy to set up, plus have really good documentation. And if you decide to really dig into them you'll eventually be able to create any game you want. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best C++ libraries for 2D game development

  I'd also recommend raylib as an option. Check out its website: http://raylib.com/. It is beginner friendly enough with good cheatsheet and examples. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Question about graphic/game libraries

  Finally, you can use raylib.com , a C library but it has a great interface and multiple examples. Howeve, it is not wide-spread like SDL. Source: almost 3 years ago

• confused new dev

  The easiest option is C# and Unity, even though I think at some point (if you want to experience real programming) you'd better off using a framework. Source: about 3 years ago
